In my POV, There are no relevant drawbacks to pumping vs conventional therapy or MDI. If you have insurance that will pay for the pump & consumables, go for it.

The biggest problem for me was getting over the emotional hurdle of having a pump "attached" to me 24/7.

I got hoooked up during my senior year in college. God, if I was smart, I would have done it years sooner.

I got my life back when I went on the pump, I'd feel naked without it today.
