Are you intending to ask whether pump therapy would be better for you? I think it's quite an individual personal decision on whether pump or mdi is better - it really depends on the person. Pump takes a lot of work to get to grips with - requires you to understand basal rates and adjusting your insulin, carb counting and getting your I:C ratio right. But it has benefits: 1) you can bespoke your basal rates; 2) more accurate bolus doses with increment as small as 0.025 units in some pump instead of half a unit which is as small as you can get on mdi; 3) much more flexible basal rates using temporary basal rates; 4) bolus discretely at the touch of a button.
The book "pumping insulin" is worth checking out if you are thinking of asking for a pump.
