- Murrawhip 10y agoThe difference seems to be that it reacts automonously to your glucose meter.
- Segfaulter 10y agoYes. A standard insulin pump only has insulin which is designed to lower blood sugar. These pumps would have both. Insulin to lower blood sugar and glucagon to raise it incase it's trending too low.
