What are the benefits of insulin pump therapy? Statistics show that insulin pump users have lower HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) levels than patients who inject insulin and, more importantly, their blood glucose fluctuates less and tends to normal levels. This means better health and the possibility of avoiding complications and prolonging life. Also insulin pumps use predictable short-acting insulin and precise control of the insulin dose, so that patients experience very little hypoglycemia. The insulin pump uses short-acting insulin, which has a fast onset of action. Patients can freely choose the time to eat, exercise and sleep, and even if they work in shifts or even travel, their blood sugar is easier to control and they can live more freely. The insulin pump can input 0.1 unit (some can even be accurate to 0.05 unit), and it is impossible for the current insulin syringes and insulin pens to achieve such accuracy. Children and lean adults with diabetes are sensitive to small doses of insulin, and treatment with an insulin pump is the best choice for them. Insulin pumps can reduce pain. The insulin pump can be used at any time and in any place, just turn sideways, press a few buttons, and insulin is automatically injected into the body, which is simple and undignified, allowing patients to forget about the tedious and painful needles at all times. How to use insulin pump correctly? The key to the correct use of insulin pump is to have diabetes-related knowledge and a good understanding of the function of insulin pump. Before installation, a physician should give detailed instruction on the operation. Normally, you should check your blood glucose regularly and adjust the basal dosage and pre-meal dosage timely according to the prevailing blood glucose level. It is necessary to make the blood glucose well controlled and not to have hypoglycemia, first of all, to be alert to nighttime hypoglycemia, especially for middle-aged and elderly patients and those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Attention should also be paid to strengthen the protection of the pump to prevent moisture and damage. Observe the puncture site daily and pay attention to prevent infection. Who is suitable for insulin pump therapy? 1.Patients with frequent symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia and unsatisfactory blood glucose control. 2.Female patients who are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. 3.Patients who travel frequently or lead an irregular life. 4.Adolescent diabetic patients who are in the process of growth and development. 5.Patients with type 2 diabetes who have severe hyperglycemia at the beginning. 6.Patients with severe complications, such as ketoacidosis, neuropathy, diabetic foot, etc. 7.Patients who need to control blood glucose before and after surgical operation.
