Insulin pumps are small-computerized devices that deliver insulin in a measured and continuous dose (basal) and in a surge dose (bolus) at your direction around mealtimes. Insulin pumps are generally for people with Type 1 diabetes, but also could play a role in the treatment for some people with Type 2 diabetes.

There is no cure for diabetes, but many people with the condition live long and healthy lives. Important is managing your diabetes to help prevent or delay complications.

Diabetes is a chronic disease, which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or when the body can’t effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Raised blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes. Over time uncontrolled diabetes leads to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels.
