Is anybody using both pump and pen therapy at the same time. The nurse at my gp's thinks I have double diabetes and while testing my basal background is OK, the pump isn't as effective for bolusing, particularly when carbs of more than 25g are consumed. I am thinking of continuing with the pump for background insulin only and trying injections for bolus. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this and whether they had any success.

Hello @AliceBee Which pump are you using ?
It's not unheard of, some pump users will intervene with injections for bringing levels down and doing large bolus shots with, as long as your pump isn't working on a closed loop system. I am on a t1 groups where people use this method, just as long as it works for you then that's what it's all about.
