This argument against pumping as always irked the heck out of me. Does a pump continue to give you insulin when you're low? Yes, unless you tell it not to. It may be "smart" pump it's not "intelligent."
Does Lantus continue to give you insulin when you're low? Yes, but you can't stop it. It's not smart or intelligent.
Same with NPH, Levemir, Lente, Ultralente, or whatever other concoction a person comes up with to meet their basal needs.
Some may argue long acting insulins will eventually run out if the person passes out from a low. Yeah? Use your pump's auto-off feature if you want that.
