3.2 Interruption of insulin pump
therapy
Consult with your doctor or healthcare team about when and for
how long your insulin pump therapy can be interrupted.
Measure your blood glucose level regularly during any insulin
delivery interruption. Use a syringe or insulin pen to inject insulin
according to the instructions of your doctor or healthcare team.
w WARNING
Because only rapid-acting insulin is used for insulin pump
therapy, only a small amount of insulin is stored in the body. If
insulin delivery is interrupted for any reason – such as:
j If you stop the pump
j There is a technical problem with the pump
j The cartridge is leaking and /or the infusion set is leaking
j There is an occlusion in the infusion set or in the headset
j The cannula has slipped out of the infusion site –
you must check your blood glucose level and replace the
missing insulin immediately.
