| Abstract: | Insulin pump therapy (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or CSII) is not for everyone. However, many persons with type 1 or type 2 diabetes could improve their glucose control with an insulin pump, while enjoying a much more flexible lifestyle. This chapter on insulin pump therapy is from a textbook for practicing providers and for physicians in training that offers a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of diabetes mellitus. The text outlines the most effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to clinical problems, rather than try to be encyclopedic in coverage. In this chapter, the author reviews insulin pump therapy in insulin-requiring patients with type 2 diabetes, general patient candidacy for insulin pump therapy, the disadvantages of insulin pump therapy, the equipment itself and how it works, initiating insulin pump therapy, verifying the basal and bolus rates, determining bolus rates, and special precautions and every day management. The chapter includes a case presentation and discussion. 3 figures. 5 tables. 4 references. |
