An insulin pump gives you the possibility to react flexibly to new situations in everyday life. Do you want to do renovations on the weekend and will be physically exerting yourself more than at the office during the week? Then simply lower the basal rate – find out how.
The basal rate of an insulin pump takes care of supplying the body with insulin “around the clock”. However, to cover meals with insulin, the wearer of a pump enters a bolus. In doing so, he can select whether he would like this to be released immediately or over a delayed period of time – thanks to so-called bolus variables.
Playing sports with an insulin pump: not a problem! This is because the insulin pump offers the best conditions for combining physical activity and insulin therapy. If you know how it works! Read for yourself.
