Background & Objective: The primary problem of diabetics is estimating the insulin dose in a way that blood glucose level is placed within the proper physiological scope in the body. However, due to the fact that insulin drug consumption can be very risky, new technologies, especially Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), have extensive use for blood glucose control. This study aims at examining the evolution of CDSSs for estimating insulin dose. Materials & Methods: In this review, scientific databases using a combination of sensitive keywords were searched out in articles published in accredited journals. Then, categorization and content analysis procedures were performed using scientific methods. Findings: In open loop control approach, the level of blood glucose is measured by the patient and dose of required insulin is determined by CDSSs based on Information Technologies with the inspection of a physician. However, in closed loop control approach the CDSS which is placed in Insulin pump, receives the level of blood glucose via the pump sensor and then determines the dose of required insulin. It is noteworthy that either of these approaches contains two different types. Conclusion: Though in modern society the development of open loop control systems based on Information Technologies seems more affordable and more possible, scientists are increasingly trying to make intelligent closed loop control systems with the impact of Nano equipment. Their purpose is to produce an Artificial Pancreas which can simulate natural pancreas activities to satisfy the patients' mutilation.
