Hybrid closed-loop system

A hybrid closed-loop system is an advanced technology for managing diabetes, particularly blood sugar levels. It combines an insulin pump with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and smart algorithms that automatically adjust insulin delivery in real-time. While it automates many aspects of blood sugar regulation, users still need to manually input information like carbohydrate intake and make occasional adjustments. This integration helps maintain more stable blood sugar levels, reducing the burden of manual management and minimizing the risk of highs and lows. It's called “hybrid” because it blends automated control with user involvement.
