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.
