Bomba de insulina

Bomba de insulina

Las personas necesitan de la hormona insulina para que su cuerpo funcione correctamente. Si el cuerpo de una persona no produce suficiente insulina, una de las maneras de obtenerla es a través de una bomba de insulina. Algunas personas diabéticas la utilizan. La bomba es un pequeño dispositivo a batería que se puede enganchar en un cinturón o colocar en un bolsillo. Se conecta a un tubo de plástico delgado que se inserta justo debajo de la piel y se sujeta con tela adhesiva en el lugar. Es posible programar la bomba para que dosifique insulina durante todo el día y para que libere cantidades adicionales de insulina cuando sea necesario; por ejemplo, después de comer.
