We moved from twice daily to MDI in June and have never looked back. He feels like he has got his life back <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> and gets on really well with the new regime. We also have much better control of his BS. He hasn't complained once about the extra injections and is happy to do them at school. I work out how many units he needs for this school meal and write it in a book, my son has a TA that confirms that he has injected the right amount each day. So it all works very nicely. I've also found that it is much easier for him to go to friend's houses etc for tea. They just text me what they are preparing and I tell him how much to inject. Much easier than having to stick with strict meal times etc. He doesn't like the idea of the permanent reminder of a pump so to be able to jab and then get on with life, works great for him. Less of a reminder that he has diabetes. Plus our consultant said he has great control so no need to a pump (lovely to hear). Go for it, it's working well for us <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
