The biggest difference is I can now cut basal and consequently not have to feed the insulin and/or hypo whilst exercising. I've been quite lazy over the winter so I'm not doing that much, If I start running longer disatances again I imagine that the basal will come down to 40% or less.
Mine too. My big problem back in the bad old days was 'TMFL' - Too Much Flamin' Lantus. Towards the end on MDI, I was about 65% bolus to 35% basal.

I'm similar on the pump so far... It seems to be working for me, though I've got lots of basal testing to do when time allows.

And then a little pump floats by
And now my pants are filled with tubes
That tangle all around my.... er .... knees

The hours I'm hooked up? All twenty four
And that's it for now until evermore
But I disconnect for up to an hour
For wonderful fun (and sometimes a shower)

And when I 'suspend' it, it plays Barry White
And my wife knows she's in for one heck of a night
But only an hour of that night is with me
As an hour is all I'm allowed now, you see...
