Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion is an important tool in the management of diabetes and offers many benefits in carefully selected and motivated patients. As the technological glitches of the pumps in the past are smoothened out, and the myths surrounding the pump are demystified, the number of patients using the pump is bound to increase enabling better glycaemic management with fewer episodes of hypoglycaemia and better quality of life albeit at higher costs. Lack of insurance coverage is another important reason many potential patients are denied the benefits of pump therapy.
