), MDI (infinitely better but crude, difficult to really fine tune due to the lingering effects of the back ground long acting insulin) and finally (!!) on a pump for the past year & a half - and WOW, what a difference! Yes, there is a slight faff element (remembering not to snag, drop, when last set change was etc) but for me the amazing new ability to really fine tune control (in sickness, exercise, fasting for ops, staged boluses for big carby meals & I suspect would allow for quicker addressing of changed insulin requirements during growth spurts etc)...it's the next best thing to a working pancreas for me at least. It won't solve every problem, it does require a fair bit of effort to set basal rates etc & there is the dka thing to be aware of in case there is a problem with insulin infusion but on the whole they will probably have to knock me out to prise mine off me now! The thing to remember is if you do end up not getting along with it, you can always go back to injections - it's not a one way leap. All the best,
