Hello Jill! The reason they are suggesting a pump for you is to avoid the low BS. For instance, if you are going to be active you have to eat the whole house so that you don’t go low while your workout or whatever. On a pump you can just go workout and still not run a low or a high. I have a Type I Diabetes and my A1c is 5.7 but I only have about 2 lows a week that I treat for. Just kinda depends what you want. Let me know if you need anything.
