Take the first steps to insulin pump therapy

Take the first steps to insulin pump therapy, advice from Accu-Chek

Is pump therapy for me?

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends insulin pump therapy as a possible treatment for adults and children 12 years and over with type 1 diabetes if :

- Attempts to reach the targeted HbA1c levels with multiple injections result in the person having “disabling hypoglycaemia” (ie when hypoglycaemia episodes occur frequently and without warning so that the person is constantly anxious about another episode occurring, which has a negative impact on their quality of life).

- HbA1c levels remain high (8.5% or above) with multiple injections despite the person and/or their carer carefully trying to manage their diabetes

Adapted from; National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence: Insulin pump therapy for diabetes. 2008. Appraisal guidance 151.
