Diabetech - Diabetes Tech, Research, News The Risks Behind Easier Insulin Pump Switching
Insulin pump access in the U.S. is changing fast, with more companies moving to pharmacy benefits and making it easier than ever for people with diabetes to start—or switch—systems. While this shift brings more choice and flexibility, it’s also exposing serious challenges around safety, training, and continuity of care. As AID systems become more complex and less interchangeable, switching pumps isn’t as simple as transferring settings anymore. In this episode, Diana Isaacs, PharmD, CDCES joins me to break down what’s really happening as pump transitions become more frequent and why both users and healthcare providers are feeling the strain. We talk about why confusion is increasing, where transitions often go wrong, and what needs to change to make pump switching safer and more effective for everyone.
