Insulin pump technology

An insulin pump is a small device that mimics some of the ways a healthy pancreas works. It delivers continuous and customized doses of rapid-acting insulin 24 hours a day to match your body's needs. The pump provides insulin to your body in two ways:

1. Background (Basal) Insulin: Small amounts of insulin released continuously throughout the day.
   
2. Mealtime (Bolus) Insulin: Additional insulin can be delivered on demand to match food intake or to correct high blood glucose.
