Yes a pump made my levels more controllable.
It was not easy to use at first - it was like learning to manage diabetes all over again. But, like injecting was, pumping is now second nature.
The main benefits are
- ability to change my basal every 30 minutes. This means I can plan for Dawn Phenomenon and suspend my insulin when I exercise.
- much smaller doses. I can give myself 0.05 units of insulin. This gives me much finer control to bolus.
