I got my MM722 and I chose "clear" over the colors. It looks very good.

Thats guys! Thats cool that we'll have exactly the same ones, John!

And mine is also the 722. The plastic is more translucent then transparent, with a almost frosted glass quality - but there is some color with the blue Act button, an orange/yellow ring at the base of the reservoir, and a few other areas. It give the impression of a very cool retro beeper/am radio...

You can return them within the first 30 days, but would want to so right away. I would probably have been fine with the 522, but did not realize until too late for a switch to the smaller model, so you may want to keep that in mind (it is my first pump, and I was right on the border for what my insulin needs were...

Good luck!

Thats! The person we spoke to thought the amount I'm not the 722 would be best so i'm looking forward to getting it!

I'm partial to the blue one. my wife has purple and it's darker than we both expected. Clear, to me is boring. Get whatever floats YOUR boat.

I agree, the purple would be nice if it was about HALF as dark as it is!

I used to have a clear one, then when I needed a replacement MM didn't have any, so I got a purple one instead.. I didn't really care for it.

Thanks! Did you mean you didn't care for the purple or the clear?

Thanks Dave! I like how the clear looks on pictures and it will look good with everthing. Guess we'll see when it comes!

I just started last week with my clear one. I like it cause you can see inside it a bit, also with no colour it matches everything, not that would matter to any guy? Kids love it cause they can see inside. But it is "a whatever floats your boat." kinda thing.

Thank you Mike! I'm NOT a guy so that might explain why I liked the 'go with everything' idea!

My 522 is clear and looks just fine. Of course the only thing I expect from a pump when it comes to appearance is for it not to stand out.
