An insulin pump is a small, programmable device – about the size of a pager – that works like a real pancreas.1,2
A healthy pancreas increases the flow of insulin when food is eaten and decreases the flow when the body fasts or exercises.
An insulin pump closely mimics the way that a healthy pancreas delivers insulin – through a continuous drip, 24 hours a day.
