[QUOTE="Katharine, post: 109304, member: 7958"] Hi Jopar, Steven was offered a pump but didn't want it. The insertions were too painful and you could feel the canula was in. They also came out when they were not meant too. Other users warned of problems with DKA due to pump failure, abcesses and scarring. We would also have had to pay for the pump and consumables which seemed like a lot of expensive trouble. You are right about basals. This is much more controllable with a pump. Steven is still having considerable problems with the dawn phenomenon. His current hbaic is 6.3 % which is down from the peak six months ago at 6.7%. This is still off his previous usual of the mid to high fives. I think the pump can suit a lot of diabetics, especially if they persist with it and learn a lot. It just didn't suit Steven at all.
