You are getting a continous dose of insulin so it makes sense that your insulin demand is lower when on a pump. That is one advantage of going on an insulin pump.

Thanks you guys...I couldn't believe what I was seeing....this quick. I'm really curious to see what my next A1c is. I have seriously high BP; and need every advantage that I can get. That little white patch in my picture isn't the OmniPod lol...it's a BP patch clonidine. I 've definitely noticed that there's not the up and down roller coaster of highs and lows. This is allowing me to feel a lot better. Now for a BP pump.

When I started with my Animas 2020 pump with Apidra I noticed after 6 months that my Total Daily Dose averaged 27 Units/month. I switched to Novolog to try it and my Total Daily Dose over the past 3 months is 33 Units/month.
