Deep dives
Managing diabetes with insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor
An insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM) are valuable tools for managing diabetes. The insulin pump, worn externally, delivers insulin through a subcutaneous cannula and can provide a basal rate of insulin as well as boluses to cover meals. The CGM continuously monitors glucose levels, providing real-time data to help track trends and make adjustments. This closed loop system allows for more precise control and can automatically adjust insulin delivery based on blood sugar fluctuations. While the pump requires being attached at all times, it offers better glucose management and reduces the need for frequent finger pricks.
