It is the most advanced treatment for diabetes mellitus (DM) in the world. The principle of operation of insulin pump therapy is simple: the pump performs the function of the pancreas, providing the body with replacement insulin that is necessary for a healthy human life.

a device that allows you to use insulin more precisely, based on your individual needs, through a single skin puncture, performed once every 3 days. Some pumps are equipped with real-time glucose monitoring by placing a sensitive sensor under the skin for several days. This feature allows you to receive the maximum amount of information about fluctuations in your glucose levels (288 measurements per day) and manage your diabetes more effectively.
Short-acting insulin used in the pump is much better absorbed by the body (usually less than 3% is not absorbed). This type of insulin is produced by the pancreas in healthy people. Therefore, short-acting insulin is used in insulin pump therapy. As your physical activity increases or decreases, your insulin needs change. When treated with multiple injections, it becomes very difficult to control glucose during increased physical activity. In the case of a pump, a small amount of insulin enters the body every minute, allowing you to avoid sudden changes in glucose levels when you increase or decrease physical activity, especially when short-acting insulin enters the body, the degree of absorption into it is well predicted.
