[QUOTE="glucosegirl, post: 285215, member: 42617"] [b]Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum[/b] I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 15 months ago and I'm on MDI. I was offered a pump by the endo at my hospital about 14 weeks after I was diagnosed but I said no. I'm not squeamish but the idea of a pump makes me feel physically sick as I see it as like being on a drip. Having a tube coming out of me (yes, I know about the OmniPod) would make me feel like I was dying. My HbA1c has stayed below 5.5% the last year so I don't see staying on MDI as a problem. [/QUOTE]
