There are four people I know - 2 of them doctors! - who have tried a
pump, decided they don't like it, and gone back to injections. So, a
pump is *not* an absolute cure-all for all the problems with
diabetes. For some - like me - the pump *does* make my diabetes
easier to control. For others, they can get good enough control on
injections. Worth bearing in mind.

PS Not trying to put anyone off trying a pump, just stating a fact ;-)
