Treating very difficult patients, physicians sometimes fall back on the continuous
insulin infusion. This means the patient does not wear a subcutaneous catheter,
being part of the “normal” insulin pump therapy, but a port. Here, the insulin is
transported up to the abdominal cavity. In an implanted guiding catheter made of
titanium there is also a membrane catheter which transports the insulin through
the epidermis and the subcutaneous tissue, the muscle and the peritoneal wall.
This large-scale treatment is above all used for diabetics who are resistant to
subcutaneously given insulin, that is, the insulin given to them by normal means
of a pen or a subcutaneous insulin pump catheter is less effective. Other reasons
to use this treatment are multiple allergies and dermatological problems like
formation of knots or scars as well as lipotrophies and lipohypertrophies.
