Claim:
A method for controlling an insulin pump through the Internet, comprising the steps of: providing an insulin pump, a blood sugar level measuring device and a personal digital assistant in which wireless communication protocol modules are built, respectively, so that the wireless modules transmit and receive signals through the medium of a wireless communication device installed on a main board of a main unit of a computer and that the main unit of the computer and the PDA are connected through the Internet with a server which sends a command to the insulin pump; logging in as an authorized user of said server; ascertaining whether or not a logged-in person is a physician; determining the logged-in person as a nurse when the logged-in person is not a physician, receiving the patient's blood sugar level data and generating said command to change an insulin injection amount; checking whether or not the logged-in person is an attending physician when the logged-in person is a physician, and changing the logged-in person to an attending physician when the logged-in person is not an attending physician; and driving said insulin pump corresponding to a patient's ID by transmitting through the Internet and the modules a new prescription made in consideration of a current blood sugar level measurement and insulin injection amount, when the logged-in person is an attending physician or when the logged-in person is changed to an attending physician.
