Advantages of Using an Insulin Pump
Some advantages of using an insulin pump instead of insulin injections are:
- Using an insulin pump means eliminating individual insulin injections
- Insulin pumps deliver insulin more accurately than injections
- Insulin pumps often improve A1C
- Using an insulin pump usually results in fewer large swings in your blood glucose levels
- Using an insulin pump makes diabetes management easier – if your glucose level is high or you feel like eating, figure out how much insulin you need and push the little button on the pump
- Insulin pumps allow you to be flexible about when and what you eat
- Using an insulin pump can improve your quality of life
- Using an insulin pump reduces severe low blood glucose episodes
- Using an insulin pump eliminates unpredictable effects of intermediate- or long-acting insulin
- Insulin pumps allow you to exercise without having to eat large amounts of carbohydrate
