I'm using the Insets with my Ping. Vertical insertion, 6mm. I've bruised, sometimes, with those too, but not nearly as often. I've looked at the Solo too - just waiting for it to be available. Haven't heard of the Cellnovo - will have to check that out also. I keep telling myself, I have it much easier than my mom ever did. She was diagnosed in the 60s. Went to the doc every three months for a blood test to see what her BG was. Took one shot a day. She ended up with complications and passed away a week before her 71st bday. So, I really should quit complaining.....

Ok, I like this one. Especially this:

"Keeping Green"

"One of my biggest beefs with diabetes medical devices is the huge amount of waste created. Although the Cellnovo pump still requires the usual set changes, etc., the pump itself is not a throw-away, more like a tubed pump that can be used over time. The throw-away items here are the infusion sets and the insulin reservoirs only. In addition, the pump is rechargeable. Cellnovo provides consumers with two patch pumps, one to use and one to recharge. Instead of constantly tossing out used batteries, this is one way we can reduce our carbon footprint."
