Aim: To compare the time required for initiation with a tubeless insulin pump (a Pod) versus other pump types.
Background: Increasing rates of type 2 diabetes in the young have traditionally been associated with overweight and obesity. However, young-onset type 2 diabetes with low-to-normal BMI has been less well studied. We aimed to compare characteristics of lean and non-lean youth with type 2 diabetes.
