Insulin Pumps & Supplies

How Does an Insulin Pump Work?

Insulin pumps deliver a steady, continuous flow of insulin throughout the day, mimicking the natural function of the pancreas. They offer convenience while allowing you to be in control. You can program your insulin pump to release insulin based on your needs. Pumps can deliver insulin at a basal rate for background insulin or a bolus dose for meals, allowing for more precise and flexible management compared to multiple daily injections.

There are two types of insulin pumps: tubed and tubeless.

Tubed Insulin Pumps

Tubed pumps like the Tandem t:slim X2 pump insulin through a small tube called an infusion set, which is connected to a tiny needle—or cannula—that is inserted under the skin. The pump itself can be clipped onto clothing for discreet wearability. Many insulin pumps feature a touchscreen for easy insulin programming.

Tubeless Insulin Pumps

Tubeless insulin pumps like the Omnipod®, attach to the body via a pod or patch. There are no tubes and many are waterproof so you can wear them in the shower. You can program insulin delivery via a smartphone app or handheld receiver.
