DANA Diabecare R Insulin Pump
The DANA Diabecare R is an insulin pump that also features a remote control as well as blood glucose measuring. The remote control also features its own display and control panel and shows continuous blood glucose monitoring - no need to keep glancing at the pump itself.
Dana R remote control
When using an insulin pump you still need to do blood tests. The Dana R’s remote control includes a blood test meter. Any blood tests that you do are sent wirelessly directly into the pump.
This has two advantages, both of which save time and effort. The first is that you do not need to carry around a separate glucose meter. The second is that you do not need to manually input the blood test data. As with many pumps, this one can help you estimate the appropriate insulin bolus dose using the blood sugar level from your test result.
Wireless communication
The remote control uses wireless communication technology to input your blood sugar level, calculate your carbohydrates and bolus doses, adjust or temporarily reset your basal rates and check and review your histories.
The wireless communication of test results simplifies diabetes management by eliminating extra button presses and by enabling you to calculate your bolus dose automatically.
Claiming to be the ‘smallest, lightest insulin pump system’, it’s also waterproof too. The pump’s actual measurements are 75mm x 45mm x 19mm while its weight is 63g (including battery), and the remote control is 75mm x 32mm x 20mm (43g).
