There is artificial insulin pump and also artificial pancreas which is being used in other parts of the world. But they work on mathematical algorithms for release of insulin in the body dependant on sugar load that the body is having- but they release synthetic insulin stored in them not natural insulin secreted by the body. The release mechanism is bought as close as to mimic natural pancreas behaviour. That's it! body has many enzymes to control sugar level - but the most important and effective mechanism is insulin only.
