[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 907457, member: 138639"] I am sure your theory would work, but is it worth it? The cost of the infusion sets and time they can remain in your body is fixed at 2-4 days depending on the set. If you are injecting a basal on your own then you loose the ability to alter that with its need, but also you would be loading your resevoirs with less insulin, AND still needing pens and needles. In my eyes, you would be consuming more disposables, have more to keep track of and organize, and have less flexibility all while paying more money because on top of regular pump supplies you would need the extra pens and needles. It is doable, and i have thought about doing that with my lantus as I have many Lantus pens left over still, but i dont think it is a long term solution for me. [/QUOTE]
