One of the most recent advances is the insulin pump. Several companies already market a pump for insulin delivery and over 50,000 people are using it worldwide. This pump is made of a reservoir that is similar to an insulin cartridge; a battery run pump, and a computer chip. This computer chip allows the user to control the insulin delivered to the body.
The pumps on the market today are about the size of a beeper or pager. They attach to the abdomen and a thin plastic tube with a small, soft needle that is inserted under the skin. This cannula (needle) is replaced every two days and may be taken off while showering or swimming. This pump delivers insulin twenty-four hours a day, delivered at a set rate and programmable to allow for sleeping, exercising, and variations in lifestyle.
