Hi Kim
Sorry you are having a rough time, and even though you feel that you'll almost out of fight, I sure that you find your ability to fight back pretty soon...
As a pumper myself, I can assure you that the little box of guppins is one of the best things going..
Yes it does come with a learning curve and a new way of thinking towards your control, I do had been injecting for around 18 years when I started on my pump, and it was strange at first not injecting something I used to do about 6 or 7 times a day, but it's surprising how quickly you get used to not injecting...
You mention that you've had your pancreas removed which makes controling diabetes even more difficult, I come across several pumpers who also had removal of their pancreas, and they have found the pump very helpful with aiding their control, as it can be used both in a pro-active manner, but can be quicky used in a re-active manner which goes a long way in improving control..
You say you have major problems with night time hypo's the advantage of the insulin pump, you can program your basal rate by the hour, some newer pumps have the ability to change every 1/2 hour... The new Veo pump incorpartes a CGM (needs separate funding for the CGM) which will turn the pump basal deliver off if it detects blood glucose heading towards an hypo, how cool is that?
There's a lot of advantages when it comes to control with the pump above MDI..
If they are offering then try it out, if you don't like it you can always hand it back and return to MDI, will warn you though there are not many who do give it back and say it's not for them... Most threaten to pysically fight off anybody trying to take it off them.. I warned my consultant a couple years back, that they would have to physically take it off me if they wanted it back, it would not only end in tears but a GBH charge etc...
Hoping you find your inner strength again, take care
