Yes, much easier to control a single variable. I'm a type 1 diabetic on multiple daily injections -- a pump just introduces a lot of inconvenience for me, price aside. You have to track batteries and change tubing and make sure the tubing doesn't snag on things, and unplug the machine before taking a shower or bath, and ... blah blah blah... All I need for MDI is to carry my syringes and vial around in a cold pack (I live in the tropics, lol) and I don't need to worry about hardware beyond that.

I'm in the same boat re. MDI over pumping. I can still keep very tight control without a bunch of cumbersome attachments (I do wear a flash sensor though). Why vials and syringe rather than a pen though? I usually just carry the pen in my pocket and phone for monitoring. Even in hot weather I've not had problems with insulin losing potency noticeably before finishing a cartridge.
