Many thanks all for the replies. Basically we have tried several different things like moving from Lantus to Levimir and now Toujeo which has not reduced night time Hypos so that's why he thinks the Pump is the best option. I just thought after reading various things on here and elsewhere the process would be more complex. Maybe I am just lucky with the team I have which I have to say are excellent after moving to them from the standard GP clinic.
The beauty of a pump is you can have multiple basal rates, so if you tend to go low during the early hours you can programme the pump to deliver less insulin during this time (and increase the basal rate when your body requires more insulin).
When you start on a pump they'll likely start you off on one basal rate after which you will make adjustments based on some basal testing, a book worth it's weight in gold is
Pumping Insulin by John Walsh & Ruth Roberts, if you've not purchased it yet then I highly recommend that you do, it teaches you all the basics of using a insulin pump plus much more.
