The pump is the best thing going for us. I have had Diabetes for 32 years and resisted getting a pump for years. I have had mine for 3 months now and would not give it up. My final thing that made me get one was I took up cycling this past spring. I am doing 20 to 40 mile rides and had the same issue you are having about working out. I would ride in the afternoon when my NPH was at it s highest. I was loading up on carbs and was all over the place. I did a lot of research on the pumps and "test drove" 2 out of the 4 pumps mentioned. My personal experience came down to the MM and the Animas. Probably either one would have suited me fine but I had to decide. I went with the MM 522 pump. I do not have the constant monitoring due to cost and have seen that it is not always accurate. There are some better systems on the horizon that I am waiting for. Talk to the reps and get as much info and experience before plunking down your money. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
