All Insulin Pumps Are Not Equivalent: A Bench Test Assessment for Several Basal Rates.

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is a widely adopted treatment for type 1 diabetes and is a component of an artificial pancreas. CSII accuracy is essential for glycemic control, however, this metric has not been given sufficient study, especially at the range of the lowest basal rates (BRs), which are commonly used in a pediatric population and in closed-loop systems (CLSs). Our study presents accuracy results of four off-the-shelf CSII systems using a new accurate method for CSII system evaluation.
