Hello, I'm about to be a first time pump user after 20+ years of MDI. I'm hoping this will be easier for me. I'm use to taking my blood sugar & counting carbs often.

I don't really know that they are that much better, but they do force the user to count carbs and bolus for the carbs, which is a good thing in my opinion. I currently use this method with multiple daily injections (MDI) and I have very good control. I just have not made the move toward the pump. I can say that they are more more hidden and would make taking the insulin discreetly a plus if you are worried about such things. Most people that have them really like them and say that their control is better. Again I am not sure that this isn't most-likely attributed to the methodology of the pump.

Let us know how it works for you, if you decide to go that route.
