Methods for Insulin Delivery and Glucose Monitoring: Comparative Effectiveness - Research Review - Final | AHRQ Effective Health Care Program
Insulin Pump and Glucose Monitoring Improve Blood Sugar Control for Diabetes Patients
Sensor-augmented insulin pumps (insulin pump combined with real time continuous glucose-blood sugar monitoring) are superior to multiple daily insulin injections and self-monitoring of blood glucose (finger sticks) to reduce high blood sugar in patients with type 1 diabetes, a new review from AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program has found. The review found an improved quality of life for type 1 diabetic patients who are using continuous insulin infusion rather than multiple daily injections of insulin. Additional research should focus on assessing the impact of these technologies on long-term clinical outcomes and evaluating the effectiveness of insulin delivery methods and glucose monitoring technologies in different patient populations. These findings and future research needs are summarized in Methods of Insulin Delivery and Glucose Monitoring: Comparative Effectiveness.
