Being on an insulin pump does not require you to weigh your food. We have just found that weighing the food gives the most accuracy as to the amount of carbs consumed, so taking the right amount of insulin is more accurate, with better results. The pump has made life SO much easier for my son. Rates can be set in there to more reflect what his body does (higher in the mornings, less in the afternoon), which keeps him more even than shots did. It also gives him the freedom to eat when he wants and take a bolus for it instead of another shot. Hi Stacy,

Like yours very much but must enlarge it due to my eyesight. My son was born with type 1 diabetes in 1965. Diabetes and society have come a long way since then. I have been on insulin more than 40 years ( 5 shots a day). I am thinking about geting an insulin pump. Would I have to go back to weighing my food again like I did so many years ago? Hi Gail,
