The use of an insulin pump in the treatment of diabetes in children has constantly increased over the last 15 years. This intensive form of treatment results in better glycaemic control, the disappearance of severe hypoglycaemic episodes and greater comfort. The quality of life of the patients and their family is thereby vastly improved.
