Hi again, PlantDoc,
Sheesh, how frustrating! I'm also a pumper and found that this book was very helpful for me. It's at many bookstores, including Amazon.com and might be in a local JDRF resource room, too.
It's called,
Pumping Insulin, Everything you need to Know for Success with an Insulin Pump, by Ruth Roberts & John Walsh. The most current edition is from 2000, I think.
There are folks who do better on shots than with the pump and you might be one of them.
