The untethered regimen is a technique combining the use of an insulin pump with a slow acting insulin analog such as Lantus or Levemir . This allows an type 1 diabetes insulin dependent person to disconnect the pump when desired while maintaining the flexible benefits that the insulin pump can provide. The term was coined by Dr. Steve Edelman, a type 1 diabetic and insulin pump user, as well as an endocrinologist , who wants to see diabetes regimens be tailored to the needs of each person so that excellent results from diabetes care as well as a happy lifestyle can be achieved simultaneously. ref Dr. Edelman s website at http www.tcoyd.com ref Edelman himself developed a desire to remove his insulin pump for long periods for swimming and sports, often a full weekend. He developed this technique for the benefit of being free from the tether to the pump all the time. Removing the pump Sports and exercise Depending on the intensity and duration of the sport, insulin pump users typically use a insulin pump temporary basal rate to reduce the amount of insulin delivered to match their reduced need of insulin as a result of exercise. The reduction is determined by trial and error with blood glucose monitoring . ref Smart Pumping , by Howard Wolpert, page 82, ISBN 1 58040 125 2. ref Some users suspend the basal rate entirely or disconnect for exercise. In some cases, the insulin pumper may want to wear the pump during sports to be able to increase and decrease insulin delivery as needed. This is when the basal rate of the pump is reduced. In other cases, the pump user may prefer to take the pump off all together This is when a combination of a slow acting insulin and the pump basal rate work well together. The pump can be removed before a preplanned activity anything from football practice to water skiing to dancing , and the pump user continues with the reduced basal insulin ... for them.
