[QUOTE="Dyann, post: 1301072, member: 47717"] i don't think any diabetic can really know everything there is to know about the disease. There are too many factors, from the food you eat, exercise, if you're in pain or hormone changes... but I do know what I have experienced. I was diagnosed at age 10, in a few months I will have had type 1 for 24 years. Many family members are on pumps. I started on regular needles with both fast and slow release types of insulins and insulin pens. After growing up with the disease and getting side effects along the way the docs finally approved me for a pump, the Medtronic. Worst piece of archaic software out there. My sister and uncle are also type 1 and using pumps. I would suggest the Omnipod, or another company. It has a PDM THAT WIRELESSLY TRANSFERS BASAL AND BOLUS CALCULATIONS THAT IT CALCULATES FOR YOU INTO A SMALL POD INJECTED ON YOUR STOMACH OR LEG. I use my leg as I have enough scar tissue from my past with Medtronic. Medtronic still uses TUBES, I don't want one taped onto my stomach EVER AGAIN. ... All I really want to say is please do your homework, choose a product that is best for your needs. [/QUOTE]
