[QUOTE="RichWatt, post: 276229, member: 42696"] Hello all I'm recently type 1 due to removal of my pancreas because of a tumour. I'm on a regieme of NovoRapid and Levemir injections at present. I am quite fed up og all the injections. I have upto 7 a day depending on the number of snacks i have. I'm wondering what life is like on an insulin pump? In th long term I may consider applying for one. Can anyone give me a run down of the good, bad and ugly of using one please? Is it attached permanently? I.e. when showering, swimming, sleeping, being intimate? Does it get in the way of activities? Is it easier at passport control, or do you still need a pen injector as back up? Anything you can think of would be useful. I would like to weigh up the for and against. [/QUOTE]
