[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1062871, member: 94348"] mostly all pros, I have felt a lot better, less to think about re diabetes, easier control though still hard work, and for me, after some years on the pump, the gradual realisation that i had freedom from constant fear of hypos (i was hypo unaware and have had type one over 36 years) , and i don't find the pump being attached much of a problem as i see the end of hypo fear as a good trade off . However, over my almost 8 years of pump use there have been a number of problems with the infusion sets, though until now they have been overcome and i have felt very positive. But now i have a mild skin condition, though it is bad in the areas most used for the infusion sets, and the sensitised skin seems to have led to further allergy type problems with the metal sets irritating. Off the pump today - so very pro use for at least a few years, not sure about the very long term if you alreaady have allergies, hayfever, etc [/QUOTE]
