Fasting + initial pump settings -- does anyone do this when first using a pump?

I dunno ,but this doesn’t sound like the best idea to me,only because you don’t even know if you’re getting a pump.What if you don’t get approved for one from your current doc/CDE? Plus it sounds like you’d have to do a ton of needle sticks. I’m on a pump and if I had to stick my self every hour that my pump delivers basal insulin and then for correction boluses,and food I would run out of places to stick.I hope you do get approved though, I love my pump and it definitely makes life easier.
