> if you’re thinking about using a pump just for short-term, while you’re experiencing very high insulin resistance and wanting to limit how many injections you do, I’m not sure it makes sense. There’s a huge learning curve with a pump and you’d likely not get any benefits before the situation changed

No, my question about pumps is aside from my current Prednisone treatment. I do five injections a day now, and reducing that would be nice. No, I won’t see my endo for five weeks at my regular appointment and I will talk to her again about a pump then. I am getting a spinal epidural of cortisone hopefully next week then my pain level should drop and my BG may be closer to normals.
