What is an insulin pump?

An insulin pump is like a puppy. It's not just for Christmas. It will need attention and time.

Unlike a puppy, a pump can improve your diabetes management.

An insulin pump is:

A small battery-operated electronic device that holds a reservoir of insulin,
About the size of a mobile phone and is worn 24 hours a day,
Delivers insulin into the body through thin plastic tubing known as the infusion set that connects to a small cannula that inserts just below the skin surface (like the depth of an insulin injection),
Worn outside the body, in a pouch or on your belt, and
Uses only fast-acting insulin.

How does a pump work?

Whenever food is eaten the pump is programmed to deliver a surge of insulin into the body similar to the way the pancreas does in people without diabetes.
Between meals, a small and steady rate of insulin is delivered.
