[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2423133, member: 527103"] Whilst I have not reverted back to pens, you wouldn’t be the first to do so. If you find them easier and you were able to maintain a HbA1C in the low 50s without lots of hypos and with less anxiety, I think you should talk to your diabetes team and explain your thinking. Pumps don’t suit everyone. And you shouldn’t judge yourself on others. It is your diabetes that you have to manage every day. I love mine but it has made it think about diabetes more. Dosing no longer feels like the conveyor belt of same sized pieces that come out of the factory; it feels more like the conveyor belt of a supermarket shop in preparation for Christmas. (Sorry, I think my analogy ran away with itself.) [/QUOTE]
