Overview
Insulin pump therapy delivers continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion through a small wearable device, offering more precise and flexible dosing than multiple daily injections. It is a well-established option for patients who want tighter, more adaptable control over their insulin delivery.
Who Can Benefit
- People with Type 1 diabetes
- Some insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetics
- Patients with fluctuating or hard-to-control glucose levels
- Those seeking more lifestyle flexibility around meals and activity
How It Works
An insulin pump delivers programmed basal insulin throughout the day, with manual bolus doses given at meals. Many modern pumps integrate with continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to support automated dose adjustments, helping keep glucose levels more stable.
Is It Right For You
Suitability is evaluated based on your current glucose control, lifestyle and willingness to actively manage the device. This is discussed in detail during a consultation with Dr. Manisha before starting pump therapy.
