Key Points

To review clinical evidence on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in type 1 diabetes, evaluating its therapeutic advantages, disadvantages, and efficacy across specific patient populations.
Synthesized published literature comparing continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion to conventional insulin regimens and multiple daily injections.
Assessed clinical outcomes and implementation factors in targeted settings, including pediatric diabetes, preconception, pregnancy, and physical exercise.
Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion provided superior glycemic control compared to conventional insulin therapy.
Insulin pump therapy delivered comparable or slightly superior glycemic control relative to multiple daily injection regimens.
Pump use demonstrated substantial clinical utility for childhood diabetes, preconception management, and glycemic regulation during pregnancy.
