[QUOTE="Janet_rabbit, post: 1185842, member: 293295"] The pump can help stop hypos in another way. I have been on a minimed pump for just over a year now and had a lot less problems with hypos. My sugar still often drops suddenly and sometimes for no apparent reason (perhaps trying to fight off a cold before it catches me, or some other stress of which I am unaware). I often don't get warning symptoms until my sugar is 2.2 when it can be a bit late! But there is a fantastic feature on the pump which has saved me from getting into a severe hypo many times - the suspend feature is great, and using that combined with fast acting glucose has stopped my sugar dropping even more. The pump can be much more finely tuned to an individual's insulin requirements than MDI routine and, although I still have a lot to learn about how to use it to its full advantage, it has been a really big help for me. Hope this is encouraging. Best wishes Janet [/QUOTE]
