[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1504733, member: 265172"] [USER=112626]@chloenelson1993[/USER] although pumping is hard work, since beginning my life on a pump I have for the first time - in three decades - felt that at last the hard work actually gets the results I want, which I'd never achieved on MDI despite fanatical micromagement. I am now able to exercise safely and with confidence. My weight is very stable. And I have - for the first time in my 40+ years - got confidence [I]in myself.[/I] I wrote a long essay to my DSN about why I wanted a pump. You'll find it here - sixth post down on this page, post number 45 - [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/explaining-what-its-really-like-to-live-with-type-1.103794/page-3[/URL] Regarding weight, I was much heavier pre-DAFNE and pre-pump than I am now. I am now NOT having to feed excess insulin with food! I don't have so much insulin in me than I used to have on MDI, and I have far fewer hypos now I pump. For exercise I can simply turn the tap down...... :) [/QUOTE]
