I’m an MDIer for 49 years. I’m not a flat-liner but I am in line usually 75-80 percent of the time when I’m paying attention which works Good for me. I just got my test results back last month and most things are in line. I am here to learn also.
You haven’t had Diabetes for very long Adam. Do you know if you are still in the “honeymoon phase”? There are many things in Life that affect each of us but may also affect each of us somewhat differently. Like the heat of summer brings my sugars down. Some People, say it does not for them. Some People have major DP problems. The pump seems to help these People. Some do not have a Big problem with it. There are many tricks to the trade that may or may not work for or suit you. It has taken the rest of us many years to get it to where we understand Diabetes, ourselves, our treatment/regimen and are doing Good. Some of us eventually decide that we need/want a pump to fine tune in order to get Better scores than we have and perhaps a CGM. The pump and CGM do not work for everyone however.
Nice photo!!
