Bob, I've been diabetic for 40 years and have been on the pump for the last 7.5 years. Going on the pump is one of the best things I ever did for myself. The advantages of leading a normal life where I can eat when I want, don't have to locate the bathroom in every restaurant, don't have to wake to eat when I am really sick - I could go on at length - far outweigh the disadvantage of having something attached when I sleep and when I am exercising. Go for it - I adapted to it very quickly and felt in better shape almost immediately, others adapt more slowly so it is a very individual thing. Good luck - look forward to hearing how you are getting on.
