New Insulin Pump: Part 2

Paradigm Veo is made by Medtronic and is only available in the UK for diabetics who already are using the older insulin pumps. The great advantage of this latest machine is that it comes with a dynamic continuous blood sugar monitoring capability.

In the UK, the pump currently sells for $5 000 but the price is expected to drop slightly in the near future. The Paradigm Veo is only suitable for type 1 diabetics and will be of great benefit for children.

Until a cure for type 1 diabetes is obtained, the paradigm Veo will make a major difference in the quality of lives of type 1 diabetics. Achieving normal blood glucose levels, avoiding diabetic complications, not having to frequently prick the fingers and checking blood sugars will hopefully be a thing of the past for a few diabetic patients.
