I’ve used both and the pens are much more convenient.
Once I am adjusted to my insulins (Lantus and Novolog) my doctors want me on a pump too. I am sure I will love it too!

Insulin pump verses Insulin pens?
25
Apr
I am a type 2 diabetic and have been for 11 years. Currently I am on two insulin pens. Novolog flex pen and Lantus solostar along with metformin for every day control of my diabetes. Lately my endocrinologist and I have been talking about getting an insulin pump to better manage by diabetes. So my questions are — what do you prefer, your pump or daily injections? Which have you had better control with? Did your insurance cover your insulin pump? (Mine will after deductible co-pay in which I only have 90.00 to meet) AND what is your monthly set up costs for your pumps supplies verses insulin pens and supplies? My doctor is suggesting a Medtronic Paradigm pump. ANY information, suggestions and comments are welcomed. The person who has the most information I am looking for will be chosen as best answer

I am asking for my mother by the way. She is a diabetic.
Thanks, my mother has a pile of them now.
