Right here's my take on it,please understand this is only my opinion.last week I started a pump trial,after a saline start the previous week,Monday-Wednesday it's was ok,my results were a little high plus had to do a few waking nights too check the basal rates,thursday it all went wrong,after tea my blood was 23 and I was producing ketones(not good as we all know)so I went through the process of taking 10% of my daily dose with a pen,changing the sets and stuff,checking every hour and a half,this went on from 8 in the evening to 5.30 the next morning where I had eventually hit 16,I made the decision at around 2.30 in the morning that the pump was not for me,personally I felt it was more too worry about,seeing as if you are going anywhere for any length of time you have to take a bag with you,containing batteries,fresh sets,short acting carbs,insulin,blood/ketones meter and also a short acting insulin pen??? Where as now all I need are a couple of pens and a blood meter,plus having this thing attached too you 24 hrs a day felt like a constant reminder of my condition,where as with pens you can at least forget your diabetic till the next injection.like I said at the start this is only my opinion,I feel that everything is geared towards pro pump and rarely hear the other side of the argument.
