Insulin Pump Clinic facility was launched at Dr Mohan`s Diabetes Specialties Centre in its Gopalapuram centre.
The Insulin Pump therapy is another innovation in the field of diabetes treatments, especially for patients who are insulin dependents and who need multiple insulin doses every day.
Dedicating the facility, DMDSC chairman Dr V Mohan said, `An insulin pump is a small device, about the size of a small cell phone that is worn externally and can be discreetly clipped to your belt, slipped into a pocket, or hidden under your clothes. It delivers precise doses of rapid-acting insulin to closely match your body`s needs. Small amounts of insulin delivered continuously (24/7) for normal functions of the body (not including food). The programmed rate is determined by our specialists based on the patient`s diabetes condition. Insulin pumps have bolus calculators that help patients to calculate their bolus amount based on settings that are fixed by our specialists.”
