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).
Glucose is the preferred fuel for muscle and brain cells, but it requires insulin to transport it into cells for use. Type 2 diabetes involves two problems getting enough glucose into the cells. When the sugar can't get where it is supposed to be, it leads to elevated blood sugar levels. In type 2 diabetes the major breakdown in this process happens over time; cells develop resistance to insulin, requiring more and more insulin to move glucose into the cells.
