Do you need to have an operation to have an insulin pump fitted?

Hi Dr. Qureshi, do you need an operation to have an insulin pump fitted? So you do not need an operation to have an insulin pump fitted, it's a subcutaneous device and it's a cannula that we can insert which is within your skin which is either connected with a tube to this insulin pump that you can wear on your belt or we also have pumps which are called patch pumps which you can actually put onto your skin and they are really discreet and they don't even have a tube in them and you can have a device which you can hold in your hand and you can control the amount of insulin that you need to inject. For patients who are going through, who are really young or they're going through transition between 18 to 25 years of age, they're quite conscious that they need a device which is discreet. So, this patient group would actually prefer to have a patch pump instead. Thank you.
