I have used both. I prefer the pump because it gives me the flexibility to eat at different times and excercise when I want. Once the slow acting insulin is in you you have to eat if you are going to do physical activity. With the pump you just suspend since it only uses fast acting insulin. I find, for me I am able to control better with an insulin pump. I will say however, that there is a learning curve to the pump. Until you get familiar with all the features it can be difficult, but, in the long run I like it better.
