The data on the efficacy of using ultra-short acting insulin preparations in insulin pumps for children and adolescents presenting with diabetes mellitus. Insulin pump therapy in the patients of these age groups is finding an increasingly wider application as being more convenient for the users and leading to the improvement of glycemic control. One of the main advantages of modern insulin pump therapy is the possibility to maximally imitate the physiological profile of insulin secretion. The flexibility of both basal and bolus dosing regimens of insulin administration can be further increased by using ultra-short acting insulin preparations in insulin pumps. The choice of any of the three currently available analogs of ultra-short acting insulin guarantees their identical efficacy and safety in the children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. They can be recommended as insulins of choice for the use in pump therapy
