[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1691964, member: 380756"] I wouldn't say better, just a different delivery method for the injections, via a subQ plastic catheter using an external infusion pump, which makes the basal delivery continuous and the meal/bolus deliveries very similar to insulin pen injections. Those boluses may be delivered more rapidly because there is already a tract from the catheter tip through the subQ space to the vunules to the circulation. Pumpers use the same short acting insulin all the time whereas we use a long acting basal (Lantus, Levemir, etc) and short acting bolus (Novolog, Humulog, Fiasp). [/QUOTE]
