Article Synopsis
- The study tracked 8,935 insulin pump users over a year to identify why people stopped using pumps and what factors influenced this decision.
- Overall, only 3% discontinued use, but adolescents and young adults had higher rates (4%) compared to younger children (3%) and older adults (1%).
- Key reasons for discontinuation included issues with wearability (57%), negative feelings about the pump (44%), and problems with blood sugar control (30%), highlighting a need for better support and device improvements for these groups.
