Inpatient Insulin Pump Management

Over the last decade, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pumps and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems have been widely used for the management of type 1 and sometimes type 2 diabetes. The American Diabetes Association advocates for allowing patients to continue to use their insulin pump while in hospital if they are physically and mentally able to do so. Studies on insulin pump use in the hospital are sparse, uncontrolled, and mostly based on retrospective analyses.
