Insulin therapy
Insulin therapy ( 51 Questions)
Which type of insulin is commonly used in insulin pumps?
Rapid-acting insulin is often used in insulin pumps due to its fast onset of action and short duration, allowing for precise control of basal and bolus insulin needs.
Short-acting insulin can also be used in insulin pumps but may not provide as flexible dosing options as rapid-acting insulin.
Intermediate-acting insulin has a longer duration and may not be ideal for the dynamic dosing required in insulin pumps.
Long-acting insulin's slow onset and steady release make it less suitable for insulin pump therapy.
