Statistics for insulin pump users

Sophia
Not my area of expertise but came up with this data from 2007 - 2009 with the Stat's for Worldwide uptake of IPT.

Note that the uptake of insulin pump therapy in the UK at <5% of those people with type 1 diabetes is considerably lower than the 15-20% of many European countries and much lower than the >35% in the USA.

Had a quick look and found this from September 2010.....

Current utilisation of insulin pumps for type 1 diabetes in the UK (3.9%) is extremely low in comparison to other countries, such as the US (estimated at 35%) and Sweden, France and Germany (estimated at 15-20%)2.

Hope that is of some help.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but after a FOI from my hospital,

Patients with Type 1 = 1384
Patients of type 1 with MDI = 1174
Patients of type 1 with pumps = 59

Some 4.3% of type 1s with pumps.

They also gave me cost information.

Cost per pump = £2500 for a 5yr life span - for the 59 = £147,500
Cost of consumables per year = £1500 per patient = £88,500

They declined to give me costings for MDI patients, referring me to the health board instead, and they are declining the request.
