Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pump?

[QUOTE="Anntonina, post: 333292, member: 53353"] [b]Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum[/b] I've been on the Accu-Check spirit Combo for around two years and it has been a god-send. I'm really insulin sensitive and was struggling to control my sugar levels using Lantus and Novorapid. I currently use no more than 15u of insulin in any one day and my HBA1c is always between 6 and 7. It took a number of months to get it approved - especially as I go to a hospital clinic that is in a different PCT. Ever since I've had the pump I get regular supplies sent to me (including batteries) that I do NOT pay for - the only down side is that the regular order only last 1 year so I have to ring up and re-order supplies. It took me a while to get used to having the pump connected to me in bed, but, it's like a part of me now, feels weird when I bathe or swim not to have it with me. I also thought that the needle stayed in you, but it is only used for inserting the small plastic tube. PUMP all the way [/QUOTE]
