| I have to agree with above posts that the pump and CGMS are just tools which can help you, BUT only if you are willing to work with them.. and for most people that means MORE work, not less. There is no such thing as an artificial pancreas yet where an ultra-sensitive CGMS controls the pump through a continuos feedback loop. The vital missing part of the equation is your willingness to test OFTEN... rather than 4-5 times "when you are able" (what does that actually mean?) a pump can require 8, 10, 12 tests a day especially when you are first starting out with it and even more especially if your control is brittle.
Sorry if I also sound harsh but you are using words like you are "spoilt" which to my thinking doesn't really apply to Diabetes... you are not treating yourself (or your family) well by not testing and taking good care of yourself. It's great that you are researching tools that could help you but unless you are willing to step up to the plate, they could at worst cause you (and your family) harm or at least be a waste of money.
You say, "on the pump my sugars are one hundred percent better", but at the same time your last A1c was 10%, what was it before?
