Thank you to those of you who have posted! This is making me feel much better! I am going to have to make sure I just keep doing what I am doing and not stress out about how critical my doctor can be sometimes and how she can make me feel like I am not doing good enough.

Pinkita - While I love being on the pump, there are a few minor downsides that I have found - but for me my blood sugars have never been better since switching! Since I play a lot of sports (volleyball, softball) I find that I have to take the pump off during…
