Insulin pumps are small-computerized devices that deliver insulin in a measured and continuous dose (basal) and in a surge dose (bolus) at your direction around mealtimes. Insulin pumps are generally for people with Type 1 diabetes, but also could play a role in the treatment for some people with Type 2 diabetes.

Early diagnosis is very important. The first-line treatment is diet, weight control and physical activity. If the blood sugar level remains high then medication is usually advised. Insulin injections are needed in some cases.

There is no cure for diabetes, but managing your diabetes well will help you prevent or delay complications. Balancing the food you eat with exercise and medicine (if prescribed) will help you control your weight and can keep your blood glucose in the healthy range. People diagnosed early with Type 2 diabetes have a chance to manage the condition with lifestyle changes, which include a healthy diet, weight loss, and exercise.
