ABCD and ABHI Position on Insulin Pumps

ABCD and ABHI have released a joint position statement "Supporting Management of People with diabetes using Out-of-Warranty Pumps while Ensuring Appropriate Patient Choice".

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all diabetes outpatient services, but in particular, the uptake of diabetes technology. Access to start insulin pump therapy (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion CSII) or continuous glucose monitoring, has been reduced. This has affected those starting these therapies for the first time as well as those who were due to have renewals because their devices were out of warranty.
