[QUOTE="MushyPeaBrain, post: 832441, member: 27914"] My reason for going on a pump was primarily my son. After 30 odd years as a brittle diabetic I had got my control as tight as possible on MDI but my HBa1c was always around 8. When I began the process of adoption my diabetes was a big concern for social services. My consultant suggested a pump and said it could easily give me an extra decade of life expectancy based on tighter control. My control has never been so good since pumping and it means I will be around longer for my children hopefully. I also had injection damage around stomach so avoid that now and pump elsewhere.
