[QUOTE="porl69, post: 2081622, member: 334119"] Interesting point [USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER] I just started a pump after 48 years on MDI. I looked into pumps around 15 odd years ago and the technology was not as good as it is now (obviously) the pumps were a little large at that time as well. So when my dietitian suggested a pump i initially said no. It wasn't 'until I really looked into them that I saw the benefits they offered. So glad I did now as my A1C is the lowest it has been in over 30 years. BUT it is a LOT to learn/take in even for a veteran like me. Being diagnosed type1 is a massive shock to the system (I can't remember as I was too young) I could see the benefits of a pump rather than MDI to start with BUT you hacve be be super accurate with carb counting etc with a pump whereas you can be a bit flexible with MDI [/QUOTE]
