FIG. 7 is a flow chart for explaining a hypoglycemic-stop function processor of an insulin pump. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7 and looking at the hypoglycaemia arrest function processor of the insulin pump 100, the default values of the basal infusion and the meal infusion are first set at S610.

Next, in step S611, it is checked whether the user is exercising. If the exercise is performed, the base injection value is decreased (S612). If no exercise is performed, basic injection is performed according to a predetermined value (S613). Generally, when exercising, the blood glucose value is generally lowered, so that the basic injection dose is required.

When the basic injection is completed, the meal injection command is executed (S613, S614). At this time, upon completion of the basic infusion (S613), the basic infusion completion time is confirmed (S710), and wireless transmission is performed to the portable smart terminal through the Bluetooth communication unit (S711).

In S616, it is determined whether or not the injection amount is adjusted. This is because the blood sugar value of the user changes depending on the kind or amount of the nutrients ingested at the meal.

If it is necessary to adjust the amount of food to be injected according to the state of the user, the amount of food injection is adjusted (S617). If there is no need for adjustment, the food is injected according to the predetermined value (S618).

Next, when hypoglycemia occurs according to the injection of the meal, a hypoglycemic occurrence command is executed (S619).

If there is no hypoglycemic generation command and the meal injection is completed (S620), the completion time of the meal injection is confirmed as in the case where the basic injection is completed (S710, S720)

If there is an instruction to generate hypoglycemia (S619), the injection is stopped immediately to prevent hypoglycemia and blood glucose is measured (S621, S622)

If the hypoglycemia is not released as a result of the blood glucose measurement, the injection is stopped (S623, S621). If the hypoglycemia is released, the operation of the processor is completed (S623).

According to the constitution of the present invention, hypoglycemic shock can be prevented by distinguishing between the initial infusion and the infusion (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack) infusion and separately performing the infusion and infusion.
