Insulin pump use in diabetes. Diabetic 8-year-old girl having an insulin pump fitted to control her diabetes. Diabetes is a condition where the body is resistant to or fails to produce the insulin needed to break down sugars in the blood.

The blood sugar level reading is entered into the pump, which will dispense the insulin needed to lower the blood sugar to normal levels.
