Pump vs injections

Weigh up the pro's and con's, if your happy on MDI and don't have any issues then stay on injections, if your experiencing issues on injections which a pump may resolve then the obvious choice is to move over to one.

The pump classed will give you more insight into the workings of a pump and whether you would adapt to using one.

I took me over three years to decide and it was the best decision I ever made, not sure why I wasted three years deciding.

I was offered a pump around 4 yrs before I decided to give it a go, I'd now say this was 4 wasted yrs.

I was far too worried about having a pump joined to me 24/7.

My final choice to move to a pump was one of the best decisions I ever made, if I could turn the clock back I would have started 4 yrs earlier.

[opps repeated post, for some reason my earlier one was not shown..........before]

Pumping has changed my life, @mc9 .

I wouldn't ever go back to MDI.

But as with everything, there are pros and cons - read everything you can - 'Pumping Insulin', 'Think Like a Pancreas', everything here on the pump forum.

I LOVE MY PUMP. For me, having the control I'm achieving massively outweighs the mildly faffy bits.
