Since I started pumping I have been able to lose weight. I gained a LOT of weight on injections. I was always feeding lows and would go low quickly with any physical activity. In the past 13 months I've lost over 110 pounds and am now back down in the normal weight range for my height. I probably would have not been able to do that without the pump.

I just feel better in general, test my BG a lot more and watch what I eat since I'm careful about counting carbs.
