Absolutely
I have been on Animas 2020 pump for 5 years this summer and it has been wonderful. No more carrying around endless supplies, needles etc. Absolutely love my pump has changed my life. I seldom have unexpected highs or lows and it is easy to treat highs when I don't have to grab and fill a needle.
I resisted getting a pump for quite a long time, didn't want something "attached" to me all of the time. Finally got talked into it by my doctor and would never go back. Yes, there are times that there a minor problems such as the site gets itchy or hurts but that compared to the consent needle sticks is well worth it.
I got the Animas pump because I could wear it while in the pool as it is water proof. Am considering upgrading to the Animas Ping so I will have the remote to bolus for meals rather than reaching into my shirt to grab my pump - but only because I am starting a new job and would have to explain to everyone new that I am not molesting myself LOL.
So, obviously I would highly recomend the pump not only for the convienence but my averages since pumping have been under 7, and for the past several years in the 5.7 range!
