insulin pumps
Glucose management devices
Insulin pumps are small electronic devices that deliver insulin continuously to people with diabetes, typically through a thin tube inserted under the skin.
They replace the need for multiple daily injections by providing a steady baseline dose with additional amounts at mealtimes.
Modern pumps may work with glucose monitors to adjust delivery automatically: She's had an insulin pump since childhood.
