Insulin Pump

Hi,
My boyfriend is a Type 1 Diabetic and has been since he was 4 (he is now 22). I recently went to a seminar about the Medtronic insulin pump (he couldn't attend since he had to work). He is going for his check-up with his diabetic doctor in a few weeks and we're thinking if he recommends the pump, then he is going to go for it. Can anyone tell me from first hand experience what they like and dislike about the pump and how it has worked for you?
Thanks =)

There have been a few threads on this subject. Here are two I found in "search".

To pump or not to pump?

What do you feel is the single best advantage to pumping?

Hope this helps.
