Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hello Everyone, I was wondering those of you who take your insulin by pump why did you decide to do this instead of giving yourself a shot.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Anita, my Endocrinologist was a huge pump advocate and constantly badgered me about getting on one. About 8 years ago, I finally relented after convincing myself that I could deal with being attached to a device and the change wouldn't be hard to adjust to. My vision was much better then than it is now but I am so glad I'm on a pump. I'm still able to see the bolus screen well enough on my Animas 2020 pump to administer my insulin and my control is much better now that I can easily take a bolus immediately when eating something. I also like the fact that only Humalog insulin is used and the ability to set a constant basal rate better mimics the way a non-diabetics natural system works.
