[QUOTE="Just_Me_Rachel, post: 1527521, member: 383513"] I also had problems with taking injections - it was horrible for me to have to take so many injections a day. I couldn't deal with it (so I didn't.) The pump did nothing to solve the emotional problems I had with diabetes - but it sure made taking insulin a hell of a lot easier!! I still cringe before inserting a new site, but it doesn't come close to how difficult it was for me to sit there and force myself to inject myself. Not just once every 3 days (that's the recommended guidelines for changing your pump site) but every single time before I wanted to eat something. For me, it was more than 4 times a day... For me, using the pump isn't complicated at all, but I have no experience with dyslexia. Is it the type of thing that you will be able to get used to using the pump once you know how to use it? I will second what the others have mentioned. Do bring it up to your health care team, and in regards to the pump being something to consider - in my opinion it certainly should be considered. It made my life a hell of a lot easier and I'm grateful for that every day. [/QUOTE]
