I also found this article on insulin pumps and what they do..
An insulin pump looks a bit like a pager. It's about the same size and shape as a pack of cards. You can keep the pump in your pocket or you can hang it on your belt. You need to keep it with you all the time.

Inside the pump is a supply of insulin. This is pumped out through a long tube. To get the insulin into your bloodstream, you stick the tube into your body. You do this through a special kind of needle that stays in your skin. You attach the tube to this needle. Most people put the needle into their stomach area, but your doctor can also show you other places it can go.

The pump supplies a constant trickle of insulin into your bloodstream. You can change the programme on the pump according to what you're doing. So you could give yourself a dose just before you eat a meal.

You might not like the idea of having something attached to you all the time. But most people get used to it. And you can take out the tube for short periods. You might want to remove it while you're having a shower, going swimming, getting dressed or having sex, for example.

A problem with insulin pumps is that the needle can get infected. But if you change the needle and tubing every two or three days, this is less likely to happen.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, which advises the government on healthcare, says insulin pumps are not recommended for people with type 2 diabetes.
