This photo, assigned by Medtronics Diabetes, shows the Medtronic Paradigm Insulin Pump Real-Time System.The small device facilitates the lives of young people, providing them with a much more discreet insulin injection system. Insulin bombs used by tens of thousands of adolescents with type 1 diabetes can be dangerous and have been blamed for damage to health andEven deaths, a study of federal regulators concluded.

Parents should carefully monitor their children when they use the devices, said the researchers of the Food and Drug Agency (FDA).Although they did not advise that they stop using them, but they did ask that the risks they present to the health of adolescents and even children be investigated.

The federal study on the use of pumps by young people for a decade found 13 deaths and more than 1,500 cases of injuries linked to them.Sometimes the devices worked badly, but other times the teenagers neglected or ran risks, the authors of the study indicated.

Some young people did not know how to use the bombs correctly, they fell or did not take care of them.

"The FDA takes the deaths of minors seriously," said Dr. Judith Cope, the principal researcher.

Insulin bombs constitute a growing combat mode against diabetes, with sales of $ 1.3 billion worldwide, said Kelly Close, editor of a patient newsletter.He expanded that there may be 100,000 patients who are using them.

Type 1 diabetes affects approximately 12 and 24 million people worldwide, and occurs when the body attacks cells that produce insulin in the pancreas.

Insulin regulates blood sugar levels, which when it is too high can cause heart and renal problems and even loss of sight.
