I wouldn't lie to say that it is easy but you find your way and what works for you. I'm just considering going onto a pump but am wrestling with how easy it will be if I knock it out during a crash! My biggest advice would be to try and get a freestyle libre if at all possible either through NHS or privately. This has been the one thing that has made such a difference. You can pull it out of your pocket and test without even having to stop. you also see how youve been tracking the during the whole exercise period - invaluable!
