The set changes will speed up and get less faffy (you'll also probably care a bit less about smaller bubbles and what-not); after a year you'll be able to do 'em in your sleep!Timhttp://www.shootuporputup.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-33314024630787659392012-01-03T21:07:01.561+00:002012-01-03T21:07:01.561+00:00It took me a very long time to come around to the ...It took me a very long time to come around to the idea of pumping too - I loved my MDIs. But now that I've been pumping for almost 4 years, I love it and wish I had started sooner. I don't believe pumping is right for everyone. And like you said, it doesn't fix everything. Lots of things are easier, but some things are harder - or hard in different ways.

Agree about the dual and square waves.<br /><br />I've gone with the shorter tubing and don't seem to mind the connectedness as much but I think I also went with that as I know how clumsy I am so know if I drop it it will just swing and not crash to the floor.<br /><br />Good luck over the coming weeks Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262942118896963283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-83120008167343143482012-01-03T04:01:04.079+00:002012-01-03T04:01:04.079+00:00glad the transition is going well overall! and it&...glad the transition is going well overall! and it's different for everyone, in terms of how long it takes to get used to the pump. i wouldn't worry about it.<br /><br />also, i <3 temp basals! :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389672426152872555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932842985778393321.post-59988764703348016442012-01-01T23:20:35.328+00:002012-01-01T23:20:35.328+00:00Sounds like you are really getting the hang of it!...Sounds like you are really getting the hang of it!The DLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02476096244926870488noreply@blogger.com
