Why Choose the Accu-Chek Spirit?


A Basal rate that mimics the pancreas

Key points

  • The objective of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is to mimic the function of a normal pancreas as closely as possible.
  • The pancreas normally secretes insulin in a pulsatile pattern with peaks every 6 – 12 minutes*.
  • At its lowest basal rate, the Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump most closely mimics physiologic insulin delivery.
