A member asked:
Is there an insulin pump that moniters your blood also?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be used together: Many patients on Insulin pumps also use a continuous glucose sensor, a device that measures the glucose in the tissues under the skin. This does not totally eliminate the need to do fingerstick testing, but gives much more information than intermittent testing. The results of displayed by the monitor can be used by the patient to make decisions about how much Insulin to take.
