FHS replied to Rach's discussion 'Which pump is best??'"I'll chime in for the tubeless Omnipod. I really don't think it's for everybody but it works great for me. Rather than going into detail about the points and counterpoints, I suggest you go to the individual forum for more detailed…"
Sheila replied to Rach's discussion 'Which pump is best??'"I am very happy with the MM. I also use the CGM. When I first went on the pump I had a hard time with adjusting the insulin dosages. I think if your body is not used to receiving very small amounts of insulin all the time, i.e. basal....it takes…"
Rach replied to Rach's discussion 'Which pump is best??'"Thanks so much for reply. Animas is out!! I'm quite petite and don't want something that's going to be sticking out and obvious!!

Rach replied to Rach's discussion 'Which pump is best??'"Thanks so much for the detailed reply, it really helps to have another D that is actually using a particular pump talk about the pros and cons. I've found certain health care professions may lean towards a particular company and not what is…"
miketosh replied to Rach's discussion 'Which pump is best??'"I've seen one or two really bad complaints on Tudiabetes about Minimed's service, but as with any company, it is made of people, and some people aren't as willing or able to help as others. For myself, I've had nothing but the…"
miketosh replied to Rach's discussion 'Which pump is best??'"Pumps are all really good, and most have identical features. I use the Minimed Paradigm 522, which has a built-in interface that can link to a Minimed Real Time CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) It is the only pump that combines a CGM and Pump in…"

I've been thinking about switching to a pump for quite some time now and just wanted some advice on which pump is better/ good? I was considering it a while ago and never got the courage to try it!! I still have issues with morning spikes in BGL's so figure I may as well give it a go!! I can always go back if I don't like it!! My Endo isn't really pushing it but I am a perfectionist and would like tighter control. So I'm going to be proactive and do the research and ask to change to the pump!!…See More
