[QUOTE="jopar, post: 285120, member: 11712"] [b]Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum[/b] I beg to differ, You are talking utter rubbish pumps and their needles are dangerous at all... They don't need a CGM with them and not having one doesn't compromise the pumps safety, in fact CGM's work on lag time, so before you take any actions concerning any information the CGM gives you have to do a finger stick BG to double check the information is near accurate... And the CGM can be very inaccurate at times so really best used for pattern finding, and a rough guide to whether BG is going up or down or stable etc... As to you claims about large needles being dangerious in the abdomen if active, is ludicrous and can only assume that you have never seen a the cannula as they are very small and very fine, they pose absolutely no dangers being in the abdomen at all active or not... I'm pretty active due to dog training and working with dogs, and very slim... So if as you said needles were large etc I think I might have come a cropper after 4 years on a pump [/QUOTE]
