I have been on the pump for 8 years. You must continue to monitor yourself and make adjustments according to your degree of activity. To eliminate some of the symptoms due to your morning dose I prime the pump with 3 continuous doses before I start the morning dose. It took me a long time to discover the correct settings for me. It’s helpful if you have the lock level that will allow you to make some of the changes on your own like lock level 1. Only you can tell if a setting is right for you.

Have an elderly friend who had the surgery and she praises the results.

I had the opportunity to start the Duopa, but decided against it. They said it is a serious surgery, and I was afraid I might get an allergic reaction to the tubing. Plus it was very expensive and I decided to wait and see what else might work..
