One of the most significant risk factors for a severe course of COVID-19 is diabetes mellitus. This risk is believed to be influenced by several variables that are frequently present in diabetes mellitus, such as advanced age, a proinflammatory and hypercoagulable condition, hyperglycemia, and underlying comorbidities (hypertension, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and obesity). Diabetes was quickly recognized as a risk factor for bad results during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, managing or delaying cases of type 2 diabetes has become more important than ever before. Several studies have confirmed that chronic diseases like diabetes are associated with adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients.

An insulin infusion pump works as an alternative to the traditional system of daily injections or an insulin pen. Insulin infusion pumps reduce the large swings in blood glucose levels, lessen pain, and deliver more accurately than injections. The scheduling of meal timings is not required when using pumps. This makes infusion pumps more user-friendly for patients. Insulin therapy is also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). It is an efficient and flexible method of insulin delivery. The insulin pump has evolved and is more reliable than it was previously. CSII technology has witnessed numerous technological advancements, like the integration of continuous glucose monitoring with the pump. Now, insulin pumps can control the algorithm, automatically delivering the insulin after analyzing the blood glucose reading.

UK Insulin Drugs & Delivery Devices Industry Segmentation

Human insulin is administered to regulate blood sugar levels in individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, a condition characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin and consequently unable to regulate blood sugar levels. It is also prescribed for individuals with type 2 diabetes, a condition where blood sugar levels are elevated due to the body's inadequate production or utilization of insulin, and oral medications alone are insufficient in managing the condition. There are several ways to give insulin subcutaneously, including a vial and syringe, an insulin pen, and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). The United Kingdom Insulin Drugs and Delivery Devices Market is segmented into Drugs (Basal or Long-acting Insulins, Bolus or Fast-acting Insulins, Traditional Human Insulins, Combination Insulins, and Biosimilar Insulins) and Devices (Insulin Pens, Insulin Pumps, Insulin Syringes, and Jet Injectors). The report offers the value (in USD million) and volume (in million mL) for insulin drugs and (in unit million) for the devices for the above segments.
