[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 312192, member: 28827"] [b]Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum[/b] The only other thing I would add.. is that a pump is a lot of work.. from what I have read more work than MDI for a lot of people.. you certainly need to understand carb counting and how your body works (and frankly if you understand that you should already have reasonable control)... pumps are not magic bullets that make diabetes instantly better without doing anything.. more they are a different way of managing your diabetes one that requires a level of knowledge and commitment to ensure that it succeeds.. For me the point of the pump was that it got rid of the 10+ injections a day I was taking.. its more convenient for the travel that I do.. (never fun to inject your insulin when your squeezed on a train!).. and it also allows self funding of the CGM which will cut down a lot of the testing that I currently do.. it is already improving my 'quality of life' for want of a better phrase.. but I doubt it will have much influence on my control.
