The ability to dose when you eat (rather than take a shot for an unplanned or small snack), is one of the key benefits to a pump. The pump also simplifies things for many, but does require a bit of change in how you manage, hence the comments on learning a new way. The great news if you aren’t financially stretched by paying the deductible/copays you can always get a pump and see how you like it, and if it doesn’t work for you go back to shots. My son loves his Tandem pump, it really simplified his diabetes management. He also takes a pump vacation and goes back to shots for at least a month each year, so both approaches have their merits.
