Highlights The use of an indwelling catheter may help achieve good metabolic control, reducing fear, pain, and discomfort related to insulin administration Using an indwelling catheter may help achieve good metabolic control and prevent long‐term micro‐ and macrovascular complications in subjects with type 1 diabetes, maintaining adherence to multiple daily insulin treatment. Using an indwelling catheter may the a first step in training for insulin pump therapy.
