I have been on the pump now for 1 1/2 years. It has given me so much more flexibility and ease of use. My A1C was in the 5.8 to 6.2 range and has stayed about the same on the pump. Just easier to use and I don't have to carry around suppplies everywhere.
Does it hurt, I forget it is in there most of the time. Every once in a while when inserting it pinches a little but it goes away in a few minutes.
It has not been a problem being in the way. Yes you have to be aware of it and I have bumped mine many times but the yare tough. I work around some pretty nasty big machinery and thought this would be a problem. I have yet to rip a set out. Every once in a while it snags something but no problems yet. I am on a short leash as I call it. 23 inch tubing. I never saw the need to go to the long leash so I don't have a ton of tubing dangling around.
I have had one or two sets go bad and I leave them in for 4 days. That is beyond the recomendation but through expirimenting this works for me.
Overall I highly recomend it. Not for everyone and I fought it for years but now I kick myself for not doing it sooner.
