[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2674855, member: 527103"] I think it depends why you are taking so many injections because it is likely you may still have to bolus the same number of times with a pump. The only difference would be that you dial the dose up on the pump instead of a pen. For many of us, a pump has been fantastic but it is not a silver bullet. If you are insulin resistant (you mention your insulin is not having much effect), you will still be insulin resistant on a pump. Most clinics require you to go on some carb counting training like DAFNE before being put on the pump list. This may be valuable for you. Not only could it be a pump gateway, a refresher in Type 1 management (DAFNE covers more than just carb counting) may help with your management. [/QUOTE]
