A shocking report that says that use of Insulin Pump has been linked to injury and even death of diabetic teen. The instruments are at no fault, but the study has linked it to lack of training and incorrect use of the pumps.
Teens with Type 1 Diabetes often use Insulin pumps as part of treating the disease but an FDA study shows the device has been linked to injuries and a few deaths.
Some of the problems with the pumps and teenagers is simply lack of education when a teen wasn’t sure on the correct use. Another problem observed was not taking care of the pump or dropping them.source
Lesson to learn is that people, whether teen or not should be properly trained in the use of the insulin pump. And also, the manufacturers should take proper care to train new user, like providing interesting training materials, and workshops. They can even set up awareness centres in malls or clinics.
