Insulin Pump Life

Last Updated on March 24, 2020

Other than the obvious benefits of fewer fingersticks per day, the ability to give insulin whenever spontaneous events arise, and quicker adjustments for changes in activity, a pump offers other benefits and conveniences:

  • better insulin delivery
  • more convenience and flexibility
  • greater precision
  • more reliable insulin action
  • easier problem solving
  • less hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia awareness
  • fewer morning highs
