In a healthy person, the pancreas produces insulin continuously at low levels, keeping blood sugar levels stable. When the meal is consumed, the pancreas sends larger amounts of insulin in the blood for food handling. Using a standard injection system, slow and fast acting insulin is used to try to reproduce the pancreas. An insulin pump much more closely copies of the pancreas. The pump delivers insulin low base (called base) and at mealtime can provide a "bolus" dose at the touch of a button, to cover food. <br>
