Type 1 diabetes is an insulin-dependent type of diabetes that is most common among children. Due to absolute deficiency of insulin in patients, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can easily ensue. Insulin pump can simulate the physiological secretion of islet, but increases the risk of pain
and infection in children due to its traumatic effect. This study aimed to analyze the application effect of nano-insulin pump in children with DKA. Children with DKA admitted to our hospital from May 2018 to May 2020 were included in this study and, according to the random number table method,
they were divided into two groups, with each group containing 36 cases. The first group received traditional insulin pump infusion (IP), while the second group received nano-insulin pump infusion (NIP). It was found that the reduction of FBG and PBG in NIP group was greater than that in IP
group. The recovery time of urine ketone, blood ketone, glucose, venous pH, and other clinical indicators in the NIP group were all lower than those in the IP group (P < 0.05). The length of hospital stay, insulin dosage, incidence of hypoglycemia, and infusion site infection rate
in the NIP group were all lower than those in the IP group (P <0.05). The findings indicate that the application of nano-insulin pump in children with DKA had a significant effect and could quickly and obviously correct the levels of blood glucose and ketone body in children.
