I really think that this is a decision that all who want good control need
to make for themselves. There are advantages
to pumps and advantages
to Lantus insulin as a basal dose. In my case, like you, I like the flexibility of the multiple shot routine and the shots don't bother me at all. Of course, flexibility is there with a pump, too, and the possible change in basal dose is a good thing perhaps with an exercise program.
