[QUOTE="tigger, post: 877369, member: 11023"] Hi I've just started a pump with porcine neutral today. I don't know if I can answer most of your questions as the pump is all rather new to me. Only thing you may want to consider is that pumps are not "licensed" to take porcine insulin which means that you will need a consultant to sign off they're happy for you to use it in a pump. Mine was happy to do so because I was adamant I wasn't switching insulins and they were keen to get me a pump. I also got a good article from IDDT on using animal insulin in pumps. It might cause you a delay though so bear it in mind. I've had a number of snacks today which has been quite fun and my sugars seemed to do well until the tail caught me and I couldn't work out how to adjust the basal rate. Oh well, it's a learning experience.... Good luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
