Insulin Pump ~ Now The Power To Control Diabetes Is In Your Hands

What Is Insulin Pump & How It Works:

An insulin pump is a medical device used for the administration of insulin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy. It is an alternative to multiple daily injections of insulin and allows for intensive insulin therapy when used in conjunction with blood glucose monitoring and carb counting. The device configuration may vary depending on design. A traditional pump includes:

  • the pump (including controls, processing module, and batteries)
  • a disposable reservoir for insulin (inside the pump)
  • a disposable infusion set, including a cannula for subcutaneous insertion (under the skin) and a tubing system to interface the insulin reservoir to the cannula.

My dexcom is rarely the same as a finger poke sample often off by 30 points up to as much as 100. This would be very dangerous if I relied on the dexcom readings to administer my insulin at meal time
