Considering An Insulin Pump

The doctor told Andrew that he had to use shots for his insulin for at least the first eight months. After that, he could switch to the pump if he wanted to. The pump has some extra features, more precise measurements of small amounts of insulin, and allows for more flexibility. It also requires that you carry a pump full of insulin attached to your body all the time. You have to figure out a way to wear it when your clothes have no pockets, how to sleep without getting tangled in the wires, how to run and play without pulling it out, how to use the bathroom while holding your pump, etc. I hoped for the advantages of the pump, but I wouldn't have to wear it 24/7. Going to a pump would have to be Andrew's decision.
