[QUOTE="dwibley, post: 317623, member: 49744"] [b]Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum[/b] Many years ago when I was a young teenager it was suggested to my parents to put me on a pump in order to regulate my diabetes better. Unfortunately they had to pay for it which was around £500 if memory serves me right which was a HUGE amount back then. Luckily over the years my diabetes has improved and my HB1AC has been below 7 for a while so it wouldn't be worth trying it now. Also, needles are so fine now and wit the handiness of pens, the 4 injections a day are a doddle. I think for teenagers today who are finding it difficult it may be a wise decision but the cost is a big factor, I suppose it depends what area you live in at the end of the day. [/QUOTE]
