A diabetic coma

New at pumping

I'm living with T-2 . . . 16 years now . . . have gone through all the oral meds . . . got myself off before burning out all my beta cells . . . did MDI for 2 years and am now pumping for 2 months. I'm using 37% less insulin now that I'm on the pump.  Is this similar to what other pumpers have experienced?
