Authors' objectives:
To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and other issues related with coverage policies on the use of insulin pumps with continuous glucose sensor for diabetic patients.
Authors' recommendations:
A difference favoring the sensor-augmented pump might be relevant, although only few studies were found and with a short follow-up and moderate methodological quality. With the evidence available, the sensor-augmented insulin pump might have good results in type I DM, reducing HbA1c and glycemia, without reporting important benefits in decreasing hypoglycemia events. It is worth mentioning that, in order to optimally use the pump with sensor, it is important to have proper training by professionals, good and timely clinical and family support and a motivated patient. More prospective randomized comparative studies are required with a larger number of patients and a longer follow-up to be able to draw adequate conclusions.
