[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2039328"] [USER=505332]@kayleighsamlaidlaw[/USER] if you are looking for a pump, before looking around the web for reviews and youtube videos, I would ask what are the pump options in your area. Most CCGs have a limited option of pumps available. For example, in my area, you have a choice of Medtronic 640G or injecting. I have been pumping for 3 years now. It has been great but it is definitely not easy. I would say it requires more work than injecting as you have to be more accurate with carb counting and, with the basal adjustments, there are more things you can do (slightly) wrong. If you are willing to put in the effort, it is worth it but if you want to sit back and expect the pump to do everything for you, you may as well be on injections. [/QUOTE]
