Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum
It's a personal thing - I guess until you try it you don't know... Unusually I went on a pump when I was pregnant as I was sure it would help my blood sugar control. As with all methods, the machine is only as accurate as the information you give it, so if you carb count accurately and have a 0.5 unit insulin pen my personal preference is definitely injections. The pump is pretty complex to learn to use, but the main thing that put me off was the size and weight of the thing - it's like having a mobile phone strapped to you all the time.. It is NOT discrete - everybody asked me what was that thing I was trying to hide down my top and I've read many comments saying it doesn't get in the way in bed, but I have to say I hated it! Needless to say I'm back on needles and multiple injections, and happy about that!
