[QUOTE="Jollymon, post: 2331096, member: 480011"] I used to be terrible with long acting basal insulins. Sometimes they’d work to quick. And once they are in you they cannot be altered. Basal adjustments with a pump were easier and more teal time. Somedays I dread my pump. We wear these things all the time. Sleeping on it is a pain. But sleeping directly on the infusion set is a bigger pain. But, not doing injections is really a positive thing- the pump is always there. I would say for me the most important thing you need to consider for a pump is the interface to your body. This is called the infusion set. I would strongly suggest trying many options out. To me the infusion set is important. It’ll “make” the pump, or make you fail at pumping. In my pump beginning I spent the least time in choosing an infusion set, and it was a major problem for me. Only afterwards did I realize I needed to know about other choices. I think about my infusion set many times per day- where it is, how it feels, and how well it’s working. [/QUOTE]
