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.
