(8) Continuous delivery. Benefits of Insulin Pump Therapy

The pump delivers a continuous pulsatile (at regular intervals) infusion of insulin, more closely simulating the normal function of the pancreas.

(9) Convenient and flexible.

The ACCU-CHEK® Spirit 315-unit insulin pump cartridge provides a 6-day supply of insulin on average, and eliminates the need for scheduled injections and interruption of your daily routine.

(10) Individual modification.

The insulin pump is programmed to meet your individual needs. The pump can easily be adjusted to keep blood glucose levels in the target range, whether you're exercising, ill or following a normal daily routine.

(11) Health benefits.

The pump can be lifesaving for those who have frequent episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) when using injections. Scientific studies (DCCT and UKPDS) show that people who practice tight control have less fluctuation in blood glucose levels while maintaining a "close to normal" blood glucose range.
