The pump is as affective as the user. Basically you stick to the rules of pumping do the work involved and think for yourself then yes very effective.
If you think it's an easy get out for control then think again as a lot of hard work involved.
Do your research and decide for yourself if you want the work involved or have the commitment for pumping.
 
If you can't control your blood sugars manually then the pump won't help you. It will be the same thing different apparatus. The pump is usually only advised for people who have brilliant control over their carb>insulin ratios etc.

No, that's not right. The NICE guidelines advise a pump for certain criteria and brilliant control is not one of them. Think about it, if you already had brilliant control, why would a cash strapped NHS give you a £2.5K piece of equipment ?
