Insulin Pump Cost

How much does an Insulin Pump Cost? An insulin pump generally costs between $5000 and $8000 depending on the type of insulin pump being purchased. It should be noted that most countries offer a subsidy for persons who are medically required to utilise an insulin pump (such as patients with poorly controlled blood glucose levels due to bad management or complicated diabetes).

How much does it cost to maintain an insulin pump?

Once you have bought an insulin pump it usually costs between $200 and $300 per month to maintain, which is considerably higher than using the basic needle and syringe method of administering insulin. However, this offers a much easier quality of life to many persons who have diabetes.
