The present invention is a device for delivering insulin to a subject with impaired hepatic glucose processing. The device delivers a series of pulses of insulin to the subject over a period of time accompanied by ingestion of glucose in the form of a carbohydrate containing meal. The amount of insulin in each pulse, the interval between pulses and the amount of time to deliver each pulse to the subject are selected so that the hepatic processing of glucose is restored in the subject. Initially after ingestion of the carbohydrate containing meal, the subject's circulating blood glucose level rises. In subjects whose hepatic glucose processing has been restored there is a subsequent fall in circulating blood glucose levels of 50 mg/dl or more directly as a result of hepatic glucose processing being restored to the liver.

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'administrer de l'insuline à un patient présentant une fonction de transformation du glucose hépatique altérée. Ce dispositif permet d'administrer une série d'impulsions d'insuline au patient, sur une période s'accompagnant de l'ingestion de glucose sous la forme d'un carbohydrate contenant du métal. La quantité d'insuline contenue dans chaque impulsion, l'intervalle entre les impulsions et le temps nécessaire pour administrer chaque impulsion au patient sont déterminés de sorte que la fonction de transformation hépatique du glucose est rétablie chez le patient. Après l'ingestion du carbohydrate contenant du métal, le taux de glucose sanguin en circulation augmente chez le patient. Chez les patients dont la fonction de transformation du glucose hépatique a été rétablie, une chute consécutive de 50 mg/dl des taux de glucose sanguin en circulation se produit. Cette chute peut également se produire plus directement comme conséquence du rétablissement de la transformation du glucose hépatique par le foie.
