[QUOTE="azure, post: 1315305, member: 39639"] If you're happy on MDI then that's fine :) However, MDI didn't work for me and my pump gave me my life back :) I've been pumping 12 years and have never had bubbles as you describe your colleague having, and I've only had two or three bent cannulas which I spotted early and which didn't cause me huge highs. Yes, pumps are suitable for three year olds - and younger! There are babies and toddlers on pumps. A three year old should understand not to touch it, but for younger children there's a pump lock, and the pump can be put out of sight. I've never heard of a toddler pulling tubing. You can watch videos on YouTube and see many young children happily using pumps. They're ideal for children as they provide smaller bolus increments and the ability to use temporary basal rates for exercise, illness, etc. [/QUOTE]
