Insulin pumps are small computerized devices that deliver insulin doses through a flexible plastic tube called a catheter. With the aid of a small needle, the catheter is inserted through the skin and is taped in place. Doses can be delivered in a steady, continuous dose or as a surge dose around mealtime. Insulin Pump therapy provides convenience and flexibility for many patients with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.
All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.
