Children with type 1 diabetes who normally receive four to five insulin injections daily now have access to an alternative treatment via an insulin pump and attend to a dedicated “pump school” to learn to use the device.
An insulin pump is a mini computerised device, which continually infuses insulin under the skin and optimises the blood glucose control.
