[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 644779, member: 17713"] I know of other persons with larger amounts of insulin that pump through. A pump does use less insulin than mdi. You would need to consider Accucheks new one...as for people pumping over a unit per hour it will let them fine tune basal rates by 0.02. This is great compared to other pumps which have greater increments than 0.02. Ie if you pumped 1.05 an hour for two hours it would let you change to 1.03 and 1.07. Other pumps do, including roced current combopump only allow 0.05 increments once you pump more than 1 unit anhour. You would need to look at one that has the biggest cartridge, orherwise you will end up changing everyday. Roche current combo pump is 315 but new one has less capacity.. Can't remember how much though. I think that would be the two questions I would want to consider if its me. I would look up details of Roche new pump rather than the combo pump. [/QUOTE]
