If you get mood swings with your bg levels... It isnt guaranteed that a pump is going to magically bring your levels down or up, or balanced.
Basically, the pumps do not do anything automatically. Its still up to you to manage the pump, to programme it and to understand the way it works to achieve better levels to improve your moodswings.

Initially it is a lot of extra work and understanding to get to grips with. With a pump you only get better levels with good understanding, and patience.

You cant forget anything on a pump... You will need to monitor your basal rates, bolus's, correction factors more I believe than when you are on injections.

Although insulin will run constantly, you have to be prepared to do more..You have to take charge of the pump and to programme the data for it to give you the constant supply at correct levels....... 'forgetting' your long acting insulin will not give your HCP's the confidence for you to care appropriately with a pump...
