The Paradigm of the Insulin Pump

An insulin pump can be very helpful in the regulation of blood sugar levels in diabetics.
Whether a patient has type 1 or type 2 diabetes, the insulin delivery can become a crucial part of their everyday life. Individuals depending on insulin for survival can benefit tremendously with the use of an insulin pump.
According to specialists, the pump uses an physiologic insulin delivery, which mimics what a healthy pancreas would do, with more precision than any other device.
The Paradigm, can be programmed for specific insulin doses, based on factors such the time of day. More insulin, for example, is often needed in the early morning hours.
These new pumps have technology that will assist the patient in determining exactly how much insulin is needed; helping the patient recognize when and why their glucose level is too high or too low.
This new technology will measure blood glucose over 280 times a day and give the patient access to those readings anytime they choose.
Managing blood sugar levels is important in order to avoid serious diabetes-related health problems. The most common cause of kidney failure, blindness, or amputation in America is diabetes.
