What is an insulin pump and how does it work?
An insulin pump is a small, computerized device that helps deliver insulin through a thin tube that goes underneath the skin. The device releases insulin in a manner that mimics how your body would naturally release insulin, a steady flow throughout the day and the night, called basal insulin, and an extra dose at mealtime called a bolus to handle rising blood sugars from the food you eat. The pump can be programmed for situations in which you eat more, or less than usual. They are about the size of a smartphone, and get attached to the body using an infusion set.
