The doctor will look at issues such as the patient's trouble controlling blood sugar levels with multiple daily Insulin injections, the frequency of past low blood sugar episodes, the presence of nerve/kidney/eye diabetes complications, etc...

Patient and doctor: If a patient has insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes, the decision to use a pump is up to the patient and physician.
