[QUOTE="fairylights, post: 2023364, member: 44416"] How do you judge 'benefits' though? It's not just about statistics, it's about say, having the freedom to eat breakfast without going high because you can adjust basal and bolus rates to compensate for e.g. porridge, it's about having the freedom to go on holiday without worrying about having constant hypos because you can easily reduce your basal rate by using a temp when you need to, it's about having the freedom to exercise as much as you want because you can use a temp if you need to, about being able to disrupt your routine, to eat differently to normal without fear, the freedom to NOT wake up and inject insulin at 4am every morning to counteract the effects of DP. If you only use statistics to measure benefits then you are not getting the full picture. [/QUOTE]
