Hi guys,

I’m doing some research into pumps and thought I’d ask here: can anyone give me some pros and cons of using a pump...
Thanks!

Have you tried asking in the Insulin Pump section? Might get more answers from users there

Depending on the pump, but medtronic
Con tubing gets snagged, juggling whilst getting dressed
Pro - control. I have never gone over 18.5mmol/L on a pump and rarely over 14, 24+ on MDI

Basal delivery.............you can deliver a separate rate each hour of the day if you wanted.......this for me is the ultimate pro....

its also good for those sensitive to insulin as the pump can deliver tiny amounts when compared to an injection.....
