I asked this question to my Diabetes Doctor the very first time before starting Insulin. :biggrin
He told me not to do it as it's not established that how the two medicine would react to each other and might render themselves useless or worse; cause a reaction by becoming something else.

Good luck....
but I think you will find the insulin pump they are talking about is totally different.
The other thing with insulin pumps is that you are continously dosed with insulin at a lower dose so you will not be able to change or skip snacks.
Umair there is a lot more involved than just deciding that you want to go on an insulin pump or use the same needle. Please be careful and look at all aspects and not just reducing the amount of needle pricks.
Take care

I still feel that you are combining two different drugs in the same tube and that worries me.
I know that you are just trying new ideas in your head to help with our management, but for this one.... I'm still worried that the doctor might give you the go ahead and you might end up getting a bad reaction. :(
