[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1828951"] I have a "stash" of Lantus. The purpose of this is a backup if my pump breaks down. I hope you don't intend to completely use up your Levemir stash ... or have an option to restock (when you run out or when it goes out of date). In my mind I must have a backup to my pump. As for using long acting insulin as the basal when on a pump, this is interesting but I found the biggest advantage by far is being able to adjust my basal by the hour. Not only do I have very different basal needs at different times of the day, I often use the temporary basal. Usually this is when exercising. However, I found a great advantage recently when I had to have some steroids to calm down an inflammation: I was able to tweak my basal up and down until I had the right amount at the start and the end of the three days of steroids. I would love to be untethered but I guess I will be strapped in for a long time yet. [/QUOTE]
