Home Insulin Pump Use for Hospitalized Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
Copied to clipboard
<section><h2><h2><p>In her Q&A with Consultant360, Sarah Lawson, MD noted that there was a lack of safety data available regarding the use of home insulin pumps in children and adolescents during hospital admissions—a significant safety gap considering that children often require at least one caregiver to manage a home insulin pump. </p></h2><h2><p>Does your hospital or practice have guidance on how staff should approach a patient or caregiver of a hospitalized pediatric patient with type 1 diabetes who prefers using their own home insulin pump?</p></h2></h2></section><section><h2>A. Yes, we have guidance that helps staff determine whether a hospitalized pediatric patient or their caregiver can use their home insulin pump or the hospital-owned insulin pump during in-patient stays.</h2></section><section><h3>B. There is no guidance on this, but we trust that the patient or caregiver can safely use their home insulin pump.</h3></section><section><h3>C. There is no specific guidance on this, but decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.</h3></section><section><h3>D. There is no specific guidance, but we are in line with medical societies that endorse the use of home insulin pumps during in-patient stays.</h3></section>
