	Postgraduate Medicine: Insulin pump therapy in the 21st century
		Absorption of the modified insulins has been shown to vary from 19% to 55% in the same individual, resulting in variable glucose excursions (2).In contrast, absorption of the soluble, short-acting insulins that are used in CSII varies by less than 3% daily (3).
		Use of insulin pumps for type 1 diabetes was first reported in the late 1970s, and findings demonstrated the possibility of achieving strict glucose control in a select group of individuals (4,5).
		We recommend that when pump therapy is initiated, the total daily insulin dose be reduced by 25% to 30% and, in adults, one half be used as the basal dose and one half as the total bolus dose (27) (figure 4).

		This means that adjusting insulin action makes sense, but a 19% variation means that the insulin duration time would vary by only about one hour, not the 2 to 8 hour period that is offered in various ways in all the new smart pumps.
		Basal insulin, carb boluses, and correction boluses are individually recorded so that the wearer can see what percentage of their insulin is coming from each type of insulin.
		For instance, if 25% of the insulin is coming from correction boluses, it becomes obvious that more basal or bolus insulin is needed or that there may be a problem with forgetting carb boluses before meals (luckily, there is a reminder to correct this type of forgetfulness).
