title: Diabetes: insulin pump therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The evidence base for the efficacy of insulin pump therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been inconsistent to date. However, a recent large-scale randomized controlled trial comparing pump treatment with multiple daily insulin injections in patients with poorly controlled T2DM has shown substantial improvement in glycaemic control with pump therapy.
