Types of Insulin Delivery Devices

All insulin delivery devices inject insulin through the skin and into the fatty tissue below.
Most people inject the insulin with a syringe that delivers insulin just under the skin. Others use insulin pens, jet injectors, or insulin pumps. Several new approaches for taking insulin are under development.

Insulin Pumps
Insulin pumps are small pumping devices worn outside of your body. They connect by flexible tubing to a catheter that is located under the skin of your abdomen. You program the pump to dispense the necessary amount of insulin. Usually, you set the pump to give a steady small dose of insulin, but you can give an additional amount in a short time if needed, such as after a meal. If adjusted properly, these pumps allow close control of your insulin levels without multiple injections. You should not use this type of pump during physical activities that may damage the pump or disrupt the pump's connection to the body. You still need to monitor your blood glucose levels regularly if you use this type of device.
