I would think that they would want to try you on MDI before pumping, but it would certainly be a consideration for the future. Most of the people I know who were initially hesitant about pumps would fight tooth and nail to keep them after a short time on them! 🙂

Hi Karen

Was that at clinic or from another diabetic?

You might want to get your head around the whole principle of MDI, carb counting and dose adjustment first (you would most likely be asked to do this before starting on a pump anyway).

Over the past 2 years I gradually moved from being convinced that pumps were not for me to, well... as you can tell from my signature below, I kinda changed my mind about that!

EDIT: Ha! Snap! Posted at the same time!
 
It was from the hospital when i used to go to clinic there, they asked if i was interested in it, but at the time i said no.
Yes i would much prefere to go on MDI first.
