Has Anyone Out There Gone From An Insulin Pump Back To Injections?

I would appreciate it if you would share your experience with me. I have had type 1 diabetes for 21 years. I started out with injections but went on a pump 9 years ago. Financially I can no longer afford pump supplies. I’m fine with going back to injections, just curious to hear from others with related experiences. Thanks.

Can My Diabetic Dog Live Without Insulin Injections?

My 13 year old dog has had type 1 diabetes for probably about a moth and we cant afford to buy her insulin because its around $60 a moth plus $125 for blood work. Is there anything else that can maintain her diabetes besides insulin? Also if we do not give her any medication how long will she survive for? Thank you so much!

Why Does A Diabetic Who Has Insulin Injections Have To Still Be Careful Of There Diet?

If you are injecting some insulin, doesn’t that mean that you can just eat anything as long as you take enough insulin to make the food go away? Because I know when people take pills the food still puts sugar in them, but if you put the insulin in your body, why do you have to eat only a certain diet? I’m very confused about this?
