Yes, lots of Type 2's are going on insulin pumps, good to hear! Many Type 2's have problems during their dormant times like between meals and sleeping, and the pump helps give them the extra boost of insulin they need to stay regulated!. You can adjust the basal rates to be different every few hours (every half hour if necessary), and of course it's great at mealtimes because you can have more freedom with your carbs as long as you calculate them properly!. The biggest adjustment for Type 2's is having to check BG's frequently, usually 6-8x a day!. I love mine and wouldn't be without it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is available for type 2 diabetics in the United States!. Type 2 diabetics on insulin generally require more than type 1 people!. My pump educator said that most type 2 pumpers have to change their site either every day or every other day, as opposed to once every three days for most type 1 diabetics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

YES!!!! my pharmacist is one of the lucky type 2 people on insulin pump!. He thinks we should all be on one as it makes life so much easier to deal with!!

He is encouraging me to go see his Endo so I can have a pump also rather than 4 to 6 injections per day!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're in the United States, yes, but if you're in the UK, sadly, their use has not been sanctioned by NICE (National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence) just yet!. There are moves to get this decision overturned, however!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I could be wrong, but type 2 normally does not require insulin injection!. This condition could be controlled by oral medication, exercise and good food intake!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
