Does anyone use an untethered approach with their insulin pump?

[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2223183, member: 475037"] I know some people that do this for various reasons. They prefer once a day or twice a day shots of long acting insulin. The last one I am interested in is trying a basic basal insulin rate in a shot but with his pump to make the higher adjustments for things like DP still. He got close to DKA one night recently with a pump failure and sensor failure at the same time. He had elevated ketones when he woke and discovered the situation and lives alone. So he likes the idea of a long acting insulin shot so that he always has a minimal level of insulin, but he can still do his bolusing plus some higher basal rate doses during part of the day/night with his pump. I am actually interested in his results. I'm not sure I would want to do the work at this point, because it really sounds like some work to try to figure it out, but I really see the point of why he is doing it. [/QUOTE]
