[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1472647, member: 32394"] Switching to a pump is still a basal bolus regime. You would still have to bolus for food. And you would still control your basal dosage with setting you basal rate and access to temporary basal rates. If anything a pump gives you rather more immediate flexibility over insulin dosages - it gives you more control. Which is great if the control is going to you. Not so good if the control is going to hallucinatory voices. How were you treating your diabetes befor DAFNE? It sounds like it's the basal bolus regiem you are struggling with. What exactly do the district nurses do on their twice daily visits to help you with this? As you're on fixed meal time doses and not carb counting are you on fixed carb content meals? Have you considered a mixed insulin regime? Then you'd be on two shots a day of mixed insulin, you'd have to eat fixed amounts of carbs at fixed times. But less personal responsibility over the insulin dosages, you could do supervised injecting, see if that helps you control the voices. [/QUOTE]
