when does an insulin pump deliver insulin
background basal rate
bolus to cover meals (CHO counting, manual activation)

where is insulin usually released in the body
straight into portal blood stream
does insulin injection/pump prevent post meal hyperglycaemic spike
no - too slow to prevent spike
does insulin injection/pump have a slower or faster clearance than normal insulin
slower clearance
