Insulin pump therapy follow-up

We hope that you are now comfortable using the pump and your blood glucose values have improved

through insulin pump therapy

. Diabetes management requires much more than blood glucose control. You

need to take care of your complete physical and mental health. This includes seeking treatment for any

condition both directly related to and not related to diabetes. The following recommendations apply to

general diabetes as well as insulin pump therapy follow-up. Remember, your healthcare professional is

your best resource for successful diabetes management.

Recommended follow-up

Everyday

• Check blood glucose four to six times a day and always before bed.

• Test before driving and have a fast-acting carbohydrate with you when you drive.

• If your blood glucose is above 250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L) twice in a row, take an injection and change

the infusion set

Every month

• Review DKA prevention guidelines.

• Check 03:00 blood glucose at least once during the month.

• Check two-hour post-meal blood glucose for all meals on a given day

Every 3 months

• Visit your healthcare professional, even if you feel well and your blood glucose values are within

target range.

• Review your blood glucose log and insulin pump settings with your healthcare professional.

• Make sure you have an HbA1c test done.
