ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of insulin pump in treatment of the old infected patients with diabetes. MethodsSeventy old infected patients with diabetes were divided into continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion group (CSII group, n=39)and multiple subcutaneous insulin infusion group (MSII group, n=31). The level of blood glucose, HbAlc, dosage of insulin, the hospitalization day, repeat hospitalization rate and incidence of hypoglycemia were compared between two groups. ResultsInsulin dosage, the hospitalization day, repeat hospitalization rate in CSII group were less than those in MSII group(P＜0.05). ConclusionsInsulin pump can control blood glucose quickly in the treatment of old infected patients with diabetes, decrease the incidence of hypoglycemia, shorten the average hospitalization days and improve clinical efficacy.
