User Satisfaction and Insulin Pump Handling With a Prefilled Insulin Cartridge in Adults and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes.

Background: This comparative handling study investigated user satisfaction and insulin pump handling with a prefilled insulin cartridge versus a self-filled insulin reservoir in insulin pump users with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: Adult (n = 105) and adolescent (n = 25) participants performed insulin pump preparations using a prefilled insulin cartridge and self-filled insulin reservoir. User satisfaction, insulin pump preparation time, and residual air in infusion set tubing were assessed for each insulin filling method.
