Insulin Pump Education and Support: An Insulin pump is a mechanism for administering insulin that is the closest to the natural pancreas. Insulin can be fine tuned in very small amounts. A pump also eliminates multiple daily injections and can provide more lifestyle flexibility. Usually, pump wears achieve tighter glucose control that can prevent diabetes complications.
