Considering a Pump?

Take control of your therapy; take control of your life.

Insulin pump therapy gives you power over your life by restoring spontaneity and the ability to live freely.

  • Eat what you want, when you want.
  • Sleep late – no more morning injections or meals
  • Live spontaneously
  • Plan your life, not your insulin schedule

Pump therapy has proven results.

A landmark study demonstrates that improving blood glucose control can reduce or prevent the complications of diabetes. In fact, intensive therapy achieved with multiple daily injections or an insulin pump has been shown to reduce the onset and progression of diabetes complications by up to 76%. It is clinically proven that ANY sustained lowering of blood glucose can reduce your risk*.

The main sugar found in the blood and the body's main source of energy. Also called blood sugar.

A small, computerized, programmable device about the size of a beeper that can be programmed to send a steady stream of insulin into the bloodstream as basal insulin, as well as larger amounts prior to meals as boluses. It replaces insulin injections.

So why pump?

How about more freedom...

With an ACCU-CHEK insulin pump, you can eat what you want when you want, without a lot of food/insulin “juggling.”

Better health…

Health risks are reduced by up to 76%

The precise insulin doses that you can achieve with a pump can lead to less fluctuation in blood sugar readings, better A1C readings, and a reduced risk of major health issues like stroke, kidney disease, heart attacks and eye damage.1,2 Even a 1% improvement in your A1C score greatly reduces your risk of diabetes complications.3

And a life more like one without diabetes.

People with diabetes on insulin injections are like Boy Scouts. They always have to be prepared. And, while wearing an ACCU-CHEK insulin pump system doesn’t mean you can throw out your emergency kit, pump therapy can help keep you prepared without the inconvenience of shots. Instead of having to stop what you’re doing to take shots, an ACCU-CHEK insulin pump system helps automate your insulin therapy and keeps you going all day long.

The main sugar found in the blood and the body's main source of energy. Also called blood sugar.

A test that measures a person's average blood glucose level over the past 2 to 3 months. Hemoglobin (HEE-mo-glo-bin) is the part of a red blood cell that carries oxygen to the cells and sometimes joins with the glucose in the bloodstream. Also called hemoglobin A1C or glycosylated (gly-KOH-sih-lay-ted) hemoglobin, the test shows the amount of glucose that sticks to the red blood cell, which is proportional to the amount of glucose in the blood.
