How an insulin pump works

How an insulin pump works

An insulin pump is an external device that continuously delivers rapid-acting insulin to your body through a tiny tube placed under the skin. About the size of a cell phone, it can be hidden under clothing or worn on your waistband. This section will provide an overview of insulin pump basics, as well as information specific to the use of Humalog in insulin pumps.

Insulin pumps are programmed by the user to continuously deliver tiny doses of rapid-acting insulin between meals or overnight. This is called your basal insulin. At meals, the user programs an extra dose of insulin, called a "bolus," to cover food. This insulin regimen most closely mimics how a healthy pancreas works in a person without diabetes. As a result, an insulin pump can help give you more flexibility around exercise and other variable activities that affect your insulin needs.

Your doctor or diabetes educator will train you on how to use an insulin pump. While an insulin pump can offer many lifestyle benefits, you have to be committed to "intensive insulin therapy" to make it successful. Part of this commitment is checking your blood sugar frequently to know how much insulin to program or to catch any disruptions in insulin delivery.
