[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1171887, member: 32394"] The way a pump delivers your basal is different from injecting a basal insulin - on MDI the basal insulins rise, plateau & fall over 12/18 hours so it can be difficult to ensure 24 hour coverage. The injected basal insulins aim to have a flat action, but your requirements for background insulin might not be flat - you might need more first thing in the morning etc - with a pump it can be programmed to adjust your basal insulin to match your needs across 24 hours. Also, as you are only getting fast acting insulin a pump can be much more responsive & you can adjust basal rates to have an impact within 3 hours. [/QUOTE]
