I was on the pump for about 4 years, but then I went off it last July. I’ve always had very tight control, so that wasn’t a factor for me. I don’t know if I didn’t use the pump correctly or what the deal was, but I’ve actually found I prefer doing shots. I have no idea why I liked it. Other people recommend them very strongly, so I feel like I must be missing something. I didn’t really notice any difference in my control between being on the pump and on shots. (Though I have to reiterate what the Lion said: about one in ten times, when I replaced my tubing, it would get inserted wrong, and I’d get really high.) Anyway, I’m not advising against the pump, just saying that not everyone loves it. (Not that I disliked it – I didn’t really care one way or the other.)
