New to the pump.

It took 2-3 years of colleagues and my doctor trying to convince me to get it. My main qaulms were:
1. Having it attached 24/7
2. Just having a machine doing my care for me - didn't like the feeling of that.

Now, the only regret to me was that it took so long for me to take the plunge. I never feel the pump and i'm amazed just how good it is when you need to do something (correction, extended bolus for a big lunch etc).

I love it. I should've gone onto it earlier
