Should a person with uncontrolled blood sugar be on an insulin pump?

An insulin pump does not automatically not make blood sugar control better.  A pump can be used as an alternative way to deliver insulin.  A person on a pump still needs to check blood sugars regularly.  In addition, the person wearing a pump needs to learn how to program a pump to determine sensitivity to insulin and carbohydrate.   I recommend that anyone considering an insulin pump see a diabetes educator to learn more about pumps and how to use one.  Insulin pumps are a fantastic method of controlling blood sugars for someone on multiple injections of insulin, however, pumps require a lot of work and will not fix uncontrolled diabetes.
