I have been pumping insulin for seven years. For me, the pump has been a God send. My A1C dropped dramatically and I felt a lot better.

I don't have a problem with sets. Well rarely. I have had one infected site that I cleared up with antibiotics and a few sites that have ended up sore. I don't seem to scar and don't have an issue with door knobs or drawers.

I honestly think you will never know 100% until you just give it a try. My suggestion would be for you to contact pump companies and try a few out with saline.

Personally, I would never go back to daily injections now that I have tried pumping. But.....we are all different.
