Embodiment Construction

[0026] In the following an embodiment of the invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1-6. FIGS. 7-11 show some useful combinations which illustrate the use of the invention.

[0027] The invention also opens up the possibility of a wide variety of combinations as each of said devices may be provided in several sizes. The preferred insulin dosing device may e.g. be replaced by two insulin injection pens of half the size, and a waste container may be inserted instead of one of these pens.

[0028]FIG. 1 shows a doser 20 and a cap 10. The doser 20 comprises a turning wheel 21 for adjusting, either electronically or manually, the level / amount of medication to be administered, and a display 22 that shows the currently selected amount of medication to be administered. The doser 20 has processing means and storage facilities, like a CPU and RAM, for storing data, like the time, date and amount of medication of the last couple of administrations. This information can be sh...

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for self-treatment of diabetes. The apparatus is particularly advantageous by comprising a plurality of devices each of which has its own dedicated function corresponding to a number of acts which a diabetic must perform on himself. The individual devices are mutually interconnectible, and the combination comprises at least a body fluid analyser and a dosing apparatus for administering a predetermined dose of insulin to the patient. Each of the devices may be provided in several sizes so that the user himself may combine the relevant devices of the relevant size with respect to the current need. This reduces the risk of forgetting parts of the equipment, and the confidence of using the equipment is enhanced because it is evident to the user that it is a complete apparatus consisting of unified parts.
