Pumping is actually cheaper for me. My pump and supplies are covered under DME 100%. On injections, besides the co-pay for insulin (two types) I also had co-pays for syringes & pen needles. I reused those so didn't have to get them filled often. But even the two insulin co-pays ($10 each) made it more expensive for me than pumping.
