Sorry to hear that Karen but as you say it's not for everyone, I'm managing to achieve 96% in the green zone, I know it's mostly down to the dexcom g6 which I think is a game changer, I would have no worries about going back on injections if the pump caused me problems as long as I had the g6, I find the ypsopump steel cannulas far superior to the insight teflon cannulas, reading reviews about pods a lot of people can't get on with them, ask your DSN if you could try the ypsopump with the steel cannulas, I think you'll find a big improvement x
