What type of insulin is used with a pump?
Your healthcare professional will prescribe the insulin that is appropriate for you. Some important points to remember about insulin pumps and insulin include: • Insulin pumps use only fast-acting insulin. • People using long-acting insulin will no longer need it after they begin using insulin pumps. Why? An insulin pump delivers a continuous supply of fast-acting insulin. • Fast-acting insulin has more predictable absorption than intermediate or long-acting insulin, so your blood glucose levels can be better controlled.
