[QUOTE="scotteric, post: 1699796, member: 453103"] You can see from the comments almost no one regrets getting a pump once they start using it and their only regret is not doing it sooner. You have lots of room to improve your A1C and I think a pump will make it easier for you to do that - if you put the work in. What I found about MDI was that there would be lots of times I was running higher than normal blood sugars and couldn't do anything about it because I would have to take a dose that would drop me low (since pens can only dose in 0.5 or 1 unit) or would have to take an injection around other people which I didn't want to do. You will be much more likely to correct every time you are high, even slightly high, which is a huge advantage the pump has over shots. I highly recommend wearing the sensor as well, it's too hard to know what's going on from just a finger test now and then! [/QUOTE]
