closer to normal. By reducing long-acting insulin from the diabetes routine and replacing it with a true "basal" rate of fast-acting insulin‚ the necessity to eat meals on schedule is reduced. Meals can be skipped without worrying about hypoglycemia. “Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when your blood sugar (glucose) is too low” (Zieve). Blood sugar levels also drop more steadily with pump use‚ resulting in earlier discovery of hypoglycemic signs. Meanwhile‚ the insulin pump copies
