[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 531397, member: 102150"] I really sympathise. I feel that way too and I can see myself handing the pump back if I get another DKA. Right now my BG is high for no good reason, probably the infusion set is misbehaving and I will do a set change as soon as I get home. Getting DKA off these things, and never knowing if they're working or not... The reliability of delivery is orders of magnitude below MDI. So you are trading greatly improved control for a level of unreliability for delivery that we haven't had in decades. Lantus etc may have delivered unpredictable amounts at unpredictable times, but at least you knew some insulin was being delivered. Hence much lower risk of DKA. :-( [/QUOTE]
