[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2087964"] I am sorry to read about your past problems and continuing battles. I started pumping about three and a half years ago. I was already a gym going but exercise was causing problems with hypos. This was the major reason for pump qualification. Since pumping, my weight has barely changed although it has helped greatly with exercise and I have concerted some fat in muscle ... without gaining weight. I remember in one of the first "pumping lessons", when we were told about how to take snacks (dose for everything), we were told there is a tendency to think "great I can eat whatever I want whenever I want" whereas when injecting snacking is more limited to avoid extra injections. This is the only reason I can think that a pump would lead to weight gain. Others may have other ideas and thoughts and experiences. [/QUOTE]
