Insulin Pump Therapy
At Southside Diabetes & Integrated Care, we offer advanced Insulin Pump Therapy for individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes seeking greater flexibility and control. An insulin pump works like a pancreas, delivering rapid-acting insulin in small, continuous doses throughout the day, using insulins such as Novolog® (aspart), Humalog® (lispro), Fiasp®, and Lyumjev®.
This therapy helps improve insulin absorption, reduce insulin usage by approximately 25%, stabilize glucose levels, lower the risk of hypoglycemia, and may support weight-management goals. Our specialists guide you through device selection, setup, training, and ongoing support.
