So, I'm a T1 & haven't done an injection in 14 months...!

I'm too scared to get the pump- i had a needle phobia for 7 years and got over it 2 years ago. I can only inject in my legs/ lower back of my butt but only there. I can't see the needle when I inject there. I'd love the pump if I knew more about it- but whenever I asked my doctors they just kinda scared me out of it. I do adventure sports (my main is climbing) so would it even be safe to get a pump?

Of course it would be safe there are loads of secure ways you can keep your pump on you.
If it's your doctor at your GP practise ask to be referred to a diabetes nurse at your local hospital, or phone your local hospital and ask to speak to the DSN, they will advise you and I imagine would arrange a time you can go in and have a look at what pumps they offer or let you know if there is a rep coming in at any time from a pump company
