  1. Insulin Pump Therapy for Gastroparesis

  2. Objective Review how insulin pump therapy can help the management of diabetes for patients with gastroparesis. Key Points • Gastroparesis should be suspected in individuals with erratic glucose control • Different bolus options on an insulin pump allow to better match the rate of digestion • Insulin Pump Therapy may be advantageous in patients with gastroparesis

  3. “Gastroparesis should be suspected in individuals with erratic glucose control” • Symptoms of gastroparesis occur in: • 5% to 12% of patients with diabetes • 40% to 50% of patients who have had diabetes for more than 20 years About 60% to 70% of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of nervous system damage, including gastropathy 2007 American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in diabetes; ADA. Diabetes Care. 2007; 30(Suppl 1): S4-S41 Camilleri M. N Engl J Med. 2007; 356: 820-829. Thomas-Doberson D, Ryan-Turek T. Diabetes Forecast. 2003; 56:69-72.

  4. Signs and Symptoms of Gastroparesis • Heartburn • Nausea • Vomiting of undigested food • An early feeling of fullness when eating • Weight loss • Abdominal bloating • Erratic blood glucose levels • Lack of appetite • Gastroesophageal reflux • Spasms of the stomach wall NDDIC, National Diabetes Disease Information Clearinghouse available at http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/gastroparesis/ Accessed March 28, 2008.

  5. Gastroparesis is a Significant Problem in Patients with Diabetes Patterns of gastric emptying in healthy people and in patients with diabetic gastroparesis • Gastroparesis, or delayed gastric emptying, may result from damage to the vagus nerve after years of high blood glucose levels Camilleri M. N Engl J Med. 2007; 356: 820-829. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Available at http://www.digestive.niddk.nih.gov/. Accessed December 11, 2007.

  6. Attempting to Manage Gastroparesis with Multiple Daily Injections Can Be Frustrating and Risky Blood glucose levels after administration of a standard insulin bolus followed by a meal.

  7. Different Bolus Options on an Insulin Pump Allow to Better Match the Rate of Digestion Bolus Types • Normal—all at once • Square wave—gradually over time • Dual wave—a portion given immediately followed by the remainder over time (could be the most appropriate for Gastroparesis) 1 2 3 Thomas-Doberson D, Ryan-Turek T. Diabetes Forecast. 2003; 56:69-72.

  8. CSII Allows for Better Patient Flexibility, Convenience and Safety Blood glucose levels after administration of a customized insulin bolus using CSII followed by a meal. Better control of insulin peak action times may reduce hypoglycemia
