Insulin Pump and CGM Quiz

What is the primary function of an insulin pump?

• To measure blood pressure

• To deliver rapid acting insulin continuously

• To monitor heart rate

• To provide oxygen therapy

What technology can be paired with an insulin pump for better glucose management?

• Continuous Heart Monitoring (CHM)

• Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

• Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring (CBPM)

• Continuous Oxygen Monitoring (COM)

What does Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) measure?

• Blood pressure levels

• Interstitial glucose levels

• Heart rate

• Oxygen levels

How does an insulin pump deliver insulin?

• Only in large doses

• In two ways simultaneously

• Only when manually activated

• Only during meals

What is the basal rate in insulin pumps?

• A large dose of insulin given once a day

• A continuous, small trickle of insulin

• A dose given only during meals

• A dose given only at night

What is the purpose of the basal rate in insulin pumps?

• To increase blood pressure

• To keep blood glucose stable between meals

• To decrease heart rate

• To provide energy during exercise

What is a bolus in the context of insulin pumps?

• A continuous trickle of insulin

• One big dose of insulin

• A dose of vitamins

• A dose of glucose

How quickly is a bolus typically given?

• In less than a minute

• Over several hours

• In a day

• Over a week

What does the dose of a bolus match?

• The amount of exercise

• The food being eaten (IC ratio)

• The amount of sleep

• The level of hydration

What can a bolus be used to correct?

• Low blood pressure

• High blood sugars (ISF – correction factor)

• Low oxygen levels

• High cholesterol
