Better Control

As blood sugar levels go down, so does your risk of serious health problems.

It’s well known that blood glucose sugar control is healthier for both adults and children.

A landmark medical study showed that the lower a person’s A1C level – an average of blood sugar readings over a 2-3 month period – the lower the risk of heath complications.*

Pumps like the ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump system function more like a healthy pancreas, the organ that makes and releases insulin. Because the ACCU-CHEK Spirit insulin pump delivers 480 precise doses of basal insulin 24 hours a day – and a surge of insulin when you eat – your body’s true insulin needs are more closely met.

Pancreas - Regularly delivers small doses of insulin, and extra insulin when you eat

Insulin Pump Therapy - imitates the action of the pancreas more closely

Intensive insulin injection therapy - Is an improvement over conventional therapy, but requires multiple shots

Conventional insulin injection therapy - provides only a blanket of insulin that may not respond to your body's varying needs
