[QUOTE="azure, post: 983100, member: 39639"] It gets easier with experience :) I found getting a pump similar to developing diabetes. Early in you don't really get what's happening and are terrified to do anything 'wrong', but then you gradually get the hang of it and become more confident in dealing with it yourself. I actually found MDI more complicated because I could never get my basal insulin right for my needs. Now I'm on a pump, I know that I can adjust my basal rate to exactly what I need. As for the weight gain, once you get your basal rates right and are confident with the pump, I'm sure that will settle down :) [/QUOTE]
