Diabetes Pump

Do you currently deliver your insulin via traditional injections? Are you having difficulty maintaining good glycemic control? Does having to inject yourself several times throughout the day still bother you, even after all this time? If so, you may want to consider switching from traditional injections to a diabetes pump. Focus Express Mail Pharmacy can help.

The diabetes pump (also known as an insulin pump) may take some getting used to at first, but it has a lot to recommend it. First, diabetes pumps encourage greater freedom. Because you wear the pump 24 hours a day, you are constantly receiving small (basal) doses of insulin. Then, around meal times, you use your pump to deliver larger (bolus) doses of insulin. You'll never have to pull out an insulin kit or draw an injection in public again.

Second, diabetes pumps encourage tighter glycemic control. They do so in a number of different ways. Unlike insulin injections, insulin pumps only use fast-acting insulin. Fast-acting insulin also happens to be the only kind of insulin produced by healthy pancreases. Fast-acting insulin produces results that are closer to those of a healthy, diabetes-free adult. Simply put, it's a more natural type of insulin.

It's also a more stable type of insulin. Slow-acting insulin is a lot more unpredictable than its fast-acting counterpart. This may explain why you have trouble maintaining good glucose control even when you're doing everything by the book.
