Benefits of Insulin Pump Therapy
Better Quality Of Life
Living with diabetes can createa lot of disturbances in your daily lifestyle. Eating habits, outdoor activities, and medication have to be monitored strictly to avoid complications, unexpected fluctuations in glucose levels and hypos. Any patient will tell you that keeping sugar levels under control is the biggest challenge when dealing with diabetes.
Maintaining safe and healthy levels of glucose as well as of HbA1c are the keys to living a happy life. With better control of your blood sugar comes better control of your life.
Wouldn’t it be a lot easier if you could achieve better control with lesser restrictions and compromises on your lifestyle?
Active Lifestyle
Being diagnosed with diabetes can be a dampener on your exercise, physical activities or outdoor adventures. From dancing to professional sports, you would not want to relinquish a career in something you love, or even want to give up on an activity that you enjoy, and you shouldn’t have to.
Getting a hold on your glucose levels and hitting your target HbA1c does not mean giving up on the activities you cherish. Traditional medications might not give you the freedom to live your life, but there are ways to continue enjoying every moment of it, without worry!
Managing Hypoglycemia
It can be one of the biggest concerns for people with diabetes, especially during the night, when it is more difficult to recognise low levels of blood glucose (lows). It can disrupt your day to day activity and will always be a concern at the back of your mind, limiting your activities.
Achieving safe HbA1c levels while avoiding the risk of hypoglycaemia (hypos) or extremely low glucose levels is a challenge that the Insulin Pump Therapy has managed to tackle with great aplomb, giving you the freedom to live an unobstructed lifestyle and a clear mind.
My Child Has Diabetes
Many parents whose child is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes wonder: 'Why is this happening to my child?' 'How can they continue to live as before?' 'How can I best help?' Often it seems there are more questions than answers at the beginning.
One of the most important things to parents is the health and well being of their children. For a child with Type 1 diabetes, the aim of diabetes therapy is to reduce the risk of developing long-term complications caused by high glucose levels, avoiding hypoglycaemia and ensuring normal growth and development both physically and emotionally.
Long Term Complications
Many people with diabetes worry about potential long-term complications. Some start thinking about it right after diagnosis and for others it starts when they experience their first symptoms or diagnosed with early signs of complications.
High glucose levels over time are associated with many different types of complications. Achieving good glucose levels and an in target HbA1c are the keys to helping reduce risk, delay or avoid developing (long-term) complications.
Newly Diagnosed
The diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes may come as a shock and may lead to many questions, such as: "Why is this happening to me?", "How will my life change?", "How can I regain control?"
Managing diabetes may seem overwhelming, especially at the time of diagnosis. The key is to learn as much as possible about the condition and to understand the different ways to keep glucose levels within the target range as much as possible.
Planning A Pregnancy
For women with Type 1 diabetes, preparing for pregnancy or an impending delivery requires good planning and preparation. There will inevitably be many questions.
Having decided to start a family, the primary concern of every potential parent with diabetes is the health of their future child. The key to a healthy pregnancy is to keep glucose levels under control, which can be challenging during pregnancy due to constantly changing hormone levels.
