I had a severe reaction to Levemir and had to revert back to Lantus. My DSN said that as I had been type 1 for 34 years (since aged 4) we could perhaps discuss my options and asked if I had ever thought about an insulin pump? Unti this conversation I had read about them but had never considered one for myself. As I understand it, they can be life changing for an individual and have been researching like a woman possessed ever since! I have one possible problem with the thought of an insulin pump; I can't figure out how I would sleep with it and the more I think about it the more of a problem is growing. I don't wear nightclothes and have never been able to tolerate even pyjamas because I move so frequently during the night. As I toss and turn all night, I wonder how I would cope with a pump that I would have to be hooked up to all night. Please can anyone let me know how they might have combatted this problem? I know that tossing up the pros and cons that the pros win but the one con is a real sticking point. Thanks in anticipation of your answers.</p></blockquote><p></p>
