My doctor advised me that I should consider getting a pump due to the amount of hypos I get.
What I don't understand is how using a pump is any different to injecting.
I understand that a pump delivers continuous basal insulin, and bolus to cover carbs. How is this any different from injecting as you use background insulin, this stays in your system for about 24 hours and novorapid (or whatever type of insulin you're using) to cover food. I'm really confused, could any pump users please explain to me what the difference is.
