| Folks, I am sorry about the confusion here, wrong choice of words. I spoke with the trainer and she said that the pump allows insulin infusion in small amounts between the cells (interstitially) Def.
2 a: situated within but not restricted to or characteristic of a particular organ or tissue —used especially of fibrous tissue b: affecting the interstitial tissues of an organ or part
Yes it is also subcutaneous, injected into the fluid between the cells.
She said when you put a large amount of insulin, say, your twelve hour dose by injection it pools in your system. The amount actually used can be lower because of pooling. A basal rate allows small doses just like the pancreas so it is absorbed better. She said there were other factors like hormones that could affect your insulin absorbtion, and that insulin injections are mostly guesswork because you don't really know how much you absorb.
