I wanted to try pumps as been on pens my whole life and wanted to see what the hype was about [emoji4]I appreciate it has only been a month but just looking for advice. My basal is correct and I have some beautiful 100% days. I’ve had about 5 pump failures and waking up to sky high sugars and had to change the pump - some reason it seems to be harder to get my sugar levels down (I use injections for the corrections when I’m high) compared to when I was on the pens.I am really trying to tone and lose weight as I am getting married next year. I exercise 5x week and eat low carb diet and I love this lifestyle, however counteracting the pump failures and highs just are making me maintain and gain a bit more weight.I am definitely in calorie deficit I use MyFitnessPal to log everything and stay between 1200-1500 calories. I just was wondering if anyone had tips or experience to lose weight whilst on a pump or is just going back to pens better? Thank you [emoji846]</blockquote>
