Luer™-lock: A Luer™-lock, or Luer™ connection, is a special threaded fitting used to connect the infusion set to the pump's insulin cartridge.
Insulin: A hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin is needed by the body to regulate the production and use of glucose.
Infusion set: Consists of a length of thin plastic tubing (24" or 43" long) with a Luer™-lock connector at one end, and at the other end, a very small cannula that is placed under the skin. It is connected to the insulin pump and used to deliver insulin to the body.
Cartridge: The container that holds insulin in the pump. May also be called a reservoir.
