Moving to a pump from a smaller town feels complicated

I've been considering insulin pump therapy, but one thing I keep wondering about is whether it is practical if you don't live in a big city.

Access to trained healthcare professionals, getting supplies on time, repairs, follow-up appointments and learning how to use the device all seem like important factors.

For people using pumps outside major cities, what has your experience been like? Did you face challenges getting support or supplies? Has technology made it easier compared with a few years ago?

I'm interested in hearing from people who manage pump therapy while living away from large medical centers.

I live outside a major city and the biggest concern before starting was support. Once I found a healthcare team familiar with pumps, it became much easier than I expected.

Finding someone experienced with the technology seems like the hardest first step. After that, the routine probably becomes more manageable.
