Development of a low-cost insulin infusion pump software simulator: a case study with a Brazilian company.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a low-cost insulin infusion pump software simulator. The simulator was built using Java programming language and replicates the interface and functions of a real low-cost insulin infusion pump currently under development. Potential users participated in a remote session, and assessment was conducted using a standard usability scale (SUS).

Insulin infusion sets associated with adverse events: strategies for improved diabetes education.

Introduction: Insulin Infusion Sets (IIS) play a crucial role in ensuring the safe delivery of insulin through a Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Recent advancements in therapy have highlighted the need to address issues such as unexplained hyperglycemia and IIS occlusion.

Objective: To investigate the adverse events (AEs) associated with IIS that impact the treatment of T1D, with a specific focus on promoting effective educational practices.
