Insulin Pump Therapy from Pregnancy to Delivery

The insulin pump should be given stress that pump use in pregnancy is most successful with a motivated receiver and the involvement of a multidisciplinary team that includes a diabetologist, obstetrician, specialised diabetes nurse, midwife and dietician. If switching prior to pregnancy, most specialists would advocate pump use for at least 3 months before attempting to conceive, in order to achieve stable blood glucose levels and become adept at using the pump. However, it is possible to start a pump during pregnancy if needed.
