Insulin Pump Therapy

Everyone who has diabetes should strive for tighter glycemic control. After all, the tighter your control and the more consistent your blood sugar levels, the smaller your chances of developing some of diabetes' nastier complications. Living with diabetes may sometimes be uncomfortable or unpleasant, but it comes nowhere near the difficulty of living with diabetes complications.

Insulin pump therapy helps people with diabetes control their blood sugar better, and that helps prevent complications from small blood vessel diseases. Small blood vessel disease can result in diabetic nephropathy, a disease which can lead to kidney failure. Currently, diabetes is the number-one cause of adult kidney failure (also known as renal failure) around the globe.

In the United States, diabetes is the number-one cause of amputations. Again, amputations are usually a result of vascular disease. Finally, diabetes is the number-one cause of vision loss and blindness in non-elderly, American adults. Insulin pump therapy can help prevent blindness by protecting the user against poor glycemic control and the resulting vascular disease.
