[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1661991, member: 32394"] This is a useless question. Whether a pump or mdi is "best" really depends on what problem you are trying to solve. [USER=431560]@Landor[/USER] what exactly are your "massive problems with high blood sugar levels"? Is this dawn phenomenon? Or pizza effect? In which case a pump could help by offering bespoke basal rates and extended bolusing. If it's something else, you should be able to obtain control on mdi, potentially with a bit more work at it. You should have a look at input diabetes for how to get a pump on the NHS. The criteria are fairly broad, and if your consultant isn't supportive they can point you to an alternative hospital that does support pumps. [/QUOTE]
