I just love my pump I could have NEVER managed this on MDI. Latest A1c is 5.7. Even with a few off days...D is just so much easier to manage on a pump than MDI, I so wish I had done this YEARS ago.

But it was incredible..went from a 6.6 A1C just shortly before my pump to 5.5 back in January, and 5.7 this time.

I start my pump on Tuesday, same one you're using. I switched just this morning to humalog (from novolog) and so far, on MDI's, it's been great and I feel better.
Good job, Christy!
