What does the insulin pump and CGM setup involve?

This outpatient procedure begins with the placement of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor, typically worn for 14 days, which measures interstitial glucose levels in real time. You will then be fitted with an insulin pump, a small device that delivers rapid-acting insulin through a cannula placed under the skin. Over the next 3–5 days, our endocrinology team provides personalized training on pump operation and adjusts the pump’s basal and bolus algorithms based on your CGM data and blood glucose patterns. The goal is to achieve stable glucose control with fewer injections and reduced hypoglycemia risk.
