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.

Thanks,

Anita

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.
