Hundreds of thousands of people with diabetes worldwide are using an insulin pump. Although insulin pumps were first used by people with type 1 diabetes, people with type 2 diabetes sometime use them as well. Many children successfully use insulin pumps. Insulin pumps allow for tight blood sugar control and lifestyle flexibility while minimizing the effects of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
This causes hyperglycemia because of a shortage in insulin production. Therefore, type 1 diabetics must rely on insulin injections to survive. Type 2 diabetes is most commonly diagnosed in overweight, middle-aged adults. In this form of diabetes mellitus, the pancreas does produce insulin. However, it is either not enough to escort a sufficient amount of glucose out of the blood and into other cells, or the body is not using the insulin effectively, thereby leaving too much glucose in the blood. Either way, the result is hyperglycemia.
