[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1395646, member: 32394"] Where are you based [USER=355109]@Vaper[/USER] ? It's pretty unusual /against guidelines for a newly diagnosed type 1 in the uk to be put on mixed insulin. Pumps use a basal/bolus regime, I expect you would have to be familiar with a basal/bolus regime before moving onto a pump - how to do basal testing, how to carb count, how to make insulin adjustments. An MDI basal/bolus regime would also give you more flexibility for shift work, something that a pump could probably fine tune, but I would see moving to a basal bolus regiem as the obvious first step [/QUOTE]
