Functional insulin therapy is a method for optimally adjusting insulin doses to avoid hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Its objective is to imitate the natural secretion of insulin which is used to “live”, “eat” and “treat” blood sugar levels according to each person’s needs. What are the principles, benefits and constraints? How is it set up? What are the specificities when you have an insulin pump?
Compared to treatment with multiple insulin injections by pen, the insulin pump only distributes rapid insulin which will be distributed more regularly and effectively in the body. The user can, for example, when eating, program the pump to spread the boluses over the meal time if it becomes prolonged…

Insulin pump and functional insulin therapy: how to set it up correctly?
Joseph was trained in functional insulin therapy before his transition to hybrid closed loop. “I have to think “carbohydrates” whenever I have to eat or drink something. It’s a new habit to get into. I must notify the pump of the quantity of carbohydrates that I am going to ingest, so that it can possibly correct the dose of insulin injected. »
