Tethered pumps are usually worn in a pouch, pocket or on a belt. Patch pumps are similar in design, but they attach directly to the body and don’t require tubing. They’re an ideal choice for those seeking the
How Do Diabetes Patches Work? There are two types of insulin pumps: the tethered pump and the patch pump. When it comes to efficiency, they both work the same, so choosing the model really comes down to preference. Currently, there are two different patch pumps that are available in the ...
The types of insulin you can chooseto treat your diabetesinclude rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, long-acting, ultra-long-acting, and pre-mixed.1You can take many of them in various ways, including inhalers, small needles, or pumps. Read on to learn more about the types a...
Pumps vary in how much insulin they hold, whether or not the pump has a touch screen or is waterproof, and have a variety of advanced features as well as safety features. Safety and user features may include programmable bolus, customizable reminders, alerts for missed bolus dose or missed g...
Insulin infusion pumps are modern, computerised devices which infuse insulin at a low dose continuously under the skin via a catheter. You should consider a pump if you are- having hypos at night, and adjusating your basal insulin isn't helping. You are not getting your HbA1c down, even...
Physicians may be reluctant to prescribe insulin pumps because they are unfamiliar with the devices or there is a misconception that pumps create more work. In reality, insulin pump patients are easy to manage because they become self-sufficient in terms of self-care on a day-to-day basis. ...
Now, with the Tandem t:slim, I’ve been intrigued as to how the “micro-delivery” pump action works, since it’s different than other standard piston style pumps in that it doesn’t push from the bottom of the cartridge up, but rather a small bit is vacuumed into the mechanism to ...
Infineon accelerating the quest for an artifical pancreas with comprehensive semiconductor solutions for CGMs, SMBGs and Insulin Pumps and Pens. The key trends in diabetes management are for reliable, smaller and less intrusive devices so people diagnostic with type I or type II conditions can go ...
(APS), which integrate CGM data with insulin pumps for automated delivery, closely mimicking natural pancreatic function. Bionic technology, blending biological and artificial processes, has been instrumental in advancing insulin delivery. It underpins devices such as APS, utilizing algorithms, sensors, ...
Insulin pumps An insulin pumpis composed of a reservoir similar to that of an insulin cartridge, a battery-operated pump, and a computer chip that allows the user to control the exact amount of insulin being delivered. The pump is attached to a thinplastictube (an infusion set) that has ...
