Abstract:
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is treated with intensive insulin therapy using multiple daily injections or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion with insulin pumps. For people with diabetes who cannot achieve acceptable glycemic control despite the use of intensive insulin therapy and continuous glucose measurement, there exists the possibility of continuous intraperitoneal insulin delivery via an implantable pump or a percutaneous port system that is connected to an external insulin pump. In this article, the current second generation of the Accu-Chek® DiaPort system for continuous intraperitoneal insulin delivery with its improvements over the former generation is presented and discussed.
