• Additionally, this is the only system currently available on the market that allows for «threshold suspend,» a feature that can act for you if your glucose level goes beyond a preset limit. 1 can serve like a backup although the other is in use in situation of a failure, and it is proposed that the pumps are periodically rotated (the backup becomes the main). The use of mobile health apps, including diabetes apps, is becoming increasingly popular. As a secondary display, the t:connect® mobile app provides easy access to monitor their data, while uploading wirelessly into the cloud-based t:connect® web application, eliminating the need to plug in their pump during healthcare provider visits. It is best to discuss with your healthcare professional whether in fact you do qualify for a funded pump. • The success of insulin pump therapy depends on selection of ideal candidate, extensive education, motivation, and implementing the sophisticated programs with skill.
9. IDEAL INSULIN PUMP • Deliver drug with in prescribed rates for extended periods (2-5 yrs). • They wear the pump on their belt or put it in their pocket. • Put it into the pump. 3. • The insulin pump works nonstop, according to a programmed plan unique to each pump wearer. The amount of insulin is programmed. • You can change the amount of insulin delivered. 21. ANIMAS VIBE INSULIN PUMP • It provides real-time, intuitive blood glucose insights, so users can closely monitor their highs and lows BG. • In 1963 Dr. Arnold Kadish designed the first insulin pump to be worn as a backpack. Many insulin pumps contain a bolus calculator to assist with the pre-meal insulin dosing. The pumps can release small doses of insulin continuously (basal), or a bolus dose close to mealtime to control the rise in blood sugar (blood glucose) after a meal. Patients can have more flexibility about what and when to eat.
Various types of insulin pump have been developed. An insulin pump is a small device (a little larger than a pack of cards) that delivers insulin into the layer of fat that sits just below the skin (subcutaneous tissue). With the aid of a small needle, the catheter is inserted through the skin into the fatty tissue and is taped in place. • Quick-Serter loads the set into the place with the push of a button. You place the little end of the cannula in the subcutaneous tissue below your skin. • Once it is primed, set the needle end of the infusion set in to the Quick-Serter. • Remove the Quick-Serter. • Neither water proof or water resistant, meaning you’ll have to remove the pumps when bathing or swimming. • Once reservoir is filled remove the plunger. • The MiniMed is relatively small. 23. ACCU- CHECK SPIRIT INSULIN PUMP • The Spirit Combo looks like a small dark gray cell phone.
18. 19. MINIMED 640G INSULIN PUMP • It works with a Guardian 2 link transmitter. Saha ME, Huuppone T, Mikael K, Juuti M, Komulainen J: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in the treatment of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. An omnipod or An insulin pump is a medical device used for the administration of insulin in the treatment of Diabetes mellitus, also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy. • Insulin pump is a safe and valuable treatment option for those with poorly controlled blood sugar, despite multiple daily insulin injections. Review of controlled trials shows that, in most patients, mean blood glucose concentrations and glycated hemoglobin percentages are either slightly lower or similar on CSII versus multiple insulin injections. There was a significant interaction between the change in hemoglobin A1c level. The change could be a big improvement for people who prefer not to have pumps out in pubic settings or attach them to undergarments like bras. • People who are injecting insulin four or five times a day. Neither are fully CGM device overpatch integrated. Enlite sensor that allows continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Since the introduction, the blood glucose meters have become smaller and more accurate: the time taken to measure the glucose concentration has been reduced to a few seconds and the size of the blood sample has been reduced to fractions of one microlitre.
