Technological devices in treatment of diabetes mellitus

Echnological inventions are being used recently to enable the treatment of diabetes mellitus more effective and easier to comply. Insulin pumps, after the implementation of readily available insulin pens, have made the transition to a very important stage in diabetes therapy. Insulin pumps have also enabled the transition from intermittent injection patterns to treatment modalities that provide continuous insulin infusion in diabetic subjects.

We aimed to discuss the features of insulin pump devices in present short review.
