Insulin Pumps for Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have focused on the use of insulin pump therapy for managing type 2 diabetes. This article explores the various insulin pump therapy options, summarizes the current literature, and discusses key clinical considerations, including device selection, patient eligibility, and special populations such as young adults, older adults, and women during pregnancy. The authors provide a table outlining the benefits and barriers of commercially available pump systems to assist clinicians in making informed decisions about starting insulin pump therapy in adults with type 2 diabetes.
