Insulin pumps work by delivering a programmed amount of insulin through a small tube called a cannula, inserted just under the top layer of your skin. Your doctor will work with you to determine ...

To the untrained eye, an insulin pump resembles a small, electronic device, like a pager. For Type 1 Diabetics (T1D), it’s a literal lifeline keeping them alive by providing a steady, measured ...

With little direct competition in patch pumps, Insulet has been able to convert more users, especially patients on multiple daily injections, to its innovative, tubeless insulin pump. The firm has ...

This means that many people choose to self-fund an insulin pump, which typically costs £2,000-£3,000. On top of that, the cost of the equipment needed costs just over £1,000 per year.

However, tubeless insulin pumps, such as patch pumps, use a flexible plastic tube or cannula under the skin, with the insulin reservoir and cannula being part of one “pod” that sits on the ...

The insulin-filled chamber and the cannula are combined together in a pod instead of being connected by thin tubing. The patch sits in your skin, either on your arm or stomach, whichever is more ...

The pump consists of a reservoir to hold the insulin, a small needle or cannula inserted under the skin, and a thin tube connecting the reservoir to the cannula.
