Really great points Richard.
For me, the pump makes diabetes management easier. That doesn’t mean it eliminates the need for me to take an active part in my management. I was fairly obsessive while on MDI because I had to be. I realized there were specific aspects of my management program that were problematic because of MDI. I didn’t want to start splitting my long acting dosage so i can stick myself more everyday, for example.
Going on the pump didn’t eliminate those necessities, it just made them easier to manage. I never even realized I had DP until I went on the pump, but the pump also gave me the tools to deal with it effectively.
The pump is definitely not set and forget.
