In type 1 diabetes an absolute deficiency of insulin secretion requires exogenous insulin supply to guarantee the patient's life avoiding ketoacidotic coma and to prevent the chronic complications of diabetes. In order to obtain a more physiological replacement therapy different approaches have been pursued since the early 70s to create an artificial wearable pancreas able to deliver insulin according to the blood glucose values as determined by continuous monitoring. Four components are considered essential for the realisation of an artificial pancreas: the sampling. system, the glucose sensor, the mathematical models and the related algorithms for the calculation of the insulin doses and the infusion system for the insulin delivery. At present the still unsolved issues are mainly represented by the availability of reliable continuous glucose monitor and control algorithms, while the new technologies allow for the miniaturisation of the system.
