Abstract
Intensive management of diabetes is the gold standard in the treatment of children with type 1 diabetes. Novel insulin delivery techniques have been developed to improve the ability to administer multiple daily doses of insulin. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is a method of insulin delivery that is increasing in popularity. The present article reviews the risks and benefits of CSII in children. At this time, there is limited quality published evidence to make a definitive claim about the potential risks and benefits of CSII in children. The risk of diabetic ketoacidosis and individual family factors must be considered before initiation of treatment.Entities:
