Insulin pump treatment in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: experiences of the German working group for insulin pump treatment in pediatric patients.
Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is frequently used in children and adolescents. This review discusses pump treatment, as analyzed by the German Working Group for Insulin Pump Treatment in Pediatric Patients. This group has published several papers, in collaboration with the DPV-Wiss (Diabetes-Patienten-Verlaufsdaten) group. The review includes practical aspects of pump treatment and recent results of CSII in Germany, and compares these with American pump treatment.
