[QUOTE="scotteric, post: 1808678, member: 453103"] I don't think there would be any reason to switch back to MDI if a pump is working well, and agree it is probably rare. I'm pro-pump, I think they are a logical way to manage diabetes and should be available to anyone who wants one. At the same time, as a long time pump user, I've also come to realize that MDI can be just as good and sometimes better, and I am angry with the pump companies for not bringing about meaningful improvements. Ive had negative experiences with every type of infusion set that exists, including steel sets which I hate the most. Medtronic cancelled the implantable pump which was being developed by MiniMed in the 1990s and early 2000s and is still beloved by the few users left using them. Instead, they just keep releasing models that are larger, more complicated to use and still rely on 1980s and 90s infusion set technology. That's my beef with pumps personally. [/QUOTE]
