Insulin and Pump Therapy
Insulin pumps are small, portable devices that deliver insulin continuously to patients with diabetes.
The insulin pump can be worn in many locations, including on a belt or in a pouch inside clothing. The pump delivers insulin through a small tube placed under the skin. Adult and paediatric studies1,2 show that insulin pump therapy can achieve better glucose control than conventional multiple daily insulin injection regimens.
