title: The benefits of insulin pump therapy for children and young people with diabetes.
abstract: The use and benefits of insulin pump therapy for children and young people with diabetes are discussed. A case is made for extending the availability of insulin pumps for children and young people under the NHS. It is argued that the costs would be offset by improved blood glucose control and quality of life for children with type 1 diabetes and prevention of longer-term complications.
