What if you could take just a pump that's capable of continuously administering insulin at various rates and connect it to a sensor that's able to continuously measure the sugar level in your blood?

如果我们安装一个泵,能够持续的动态控制胰岛素输出,并把这个泵连接到一个,持续监测体内血糖水平的变化的传感器上

The peak occurs a little bit later and then there's a less rapid decline here, and then blood sugar actually ends up a little above this initial level, and therefore you're less likely to eat because you're less hungry.

峰值出现得比较晚,下降也较为缓慢,最后血糖结束在比起始值稍高的位置,因此人就没有那么想进食 因为不感觉饿

And so it's thought and the research suggests this to be the case, that during this period of time here when the blood sugar is declining very rapidly and then when it goes down to below its initial level here -- you see that--that people are especially hungry and want to eat more.

这个例子被认为,同时研究也证明了,在这段时间,当血糖迅速降低时,以及当血糖降低到比它的初值还低时,大家能看到人会特别饿和想多吃东西

Let's create a graph here that on the x axis it's going to be time, so time zero will be when you first take in a food and then one hour later, two hours later will be shown as you go from left to right, and then we'll have blood glucose level up on the y axis.

我们在这建立一个曲线图,X轴代表的是时间,所以零时间点是你第一次进食的时间,然后一小时以后,两小时以后,是从左到右呈现在图表上的,在Y轴上是你的血糖值
