In order to maintain the levels of sugar in the blood, what devices are commonly being used? Correct Answer Insulin Pump

Insulin pump almost works like an artificial pancreas. They have detectors which keep monitoring the amount of sugar in the blood periodically and if the sugar exceeds normal levels, insulin is injected in them. Glucometer and Gluco Strips are ways of checking the amount of sugar in the body. If these devices are used then the insulin needs to be given manually. Potable pulse oximeter is used to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood which can be indicative of the amount.
