When I last saw my diabetic consultant, I mentioned it is sometimes hard to bolus when at a very formal business lunch/dinner.
He responded that - if I want - he can get me a pump. I was diagnosed 3 years ago, am in my mid 40s and my control is very good by T1 standards. I think this is thanks to Dexcom as well as my pancreas still producing some insulin. I currently inject about 6 units of Levemir in the evening and 4 in the morning. My bolus typically ranges between 2 and 3 units per meal with my ratio being 10-15g of carbs per unit.
My opinion is that there is no rush to go on the pump but would like to learn everyone's opinion.
