Abstract
There is an increasing number of people with type1 diabetes treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy (CSII) in Spain, but there are no national guidelines on how to manage insulin pump therapy in the hospital setting. The Group on New Technologies in Diabetes of the Spanish Diabetes Society has reviewed the literature and several international guidelines, and proposes a consensus document on the management of insulin pump therapy for inpatients. The document contains recommendations on indications, contraindications and the requirements needed to maintaining CSII therapy. This review provides a guide for the management of CSII patients in special settings such as the emergency room, surgery, delivery, and for pediatric patients. Finally, the group proposes a set of documents needed to establish a CSII policy in the hospital. In conclusion, CSII therapy can safely be used in the hospital in selected patients after the implementation of a standardized protocol.
