[QUOTE="smd, post: 1061168, member: 38012"] Hello, I am new to the forum but have used an insulin pump for many years. I was originally on the Medtronic Paradigm but for the last 4 years I have been on the Accu-Chek Combo. As the latter is coming to the end of its warranted life, I have been asked to choose between a new combo or the insight. Looking at the website the functionality seems largely the same, but the look and feel considerably different. It seems that the practical day to day use would therefore help me to make the decision. It may seem odd but the thing I missed most about the Medtronic was the attached clip. All of the Roche belt clips have been extremely poor and I have never quite been happy with the way I carry the pump around. Also the new touch screen on the Insight looks good but it is a lot more to carry around once you add the bg sticks and finger pricker. I have heard that there isn't a proper case. I have to decide within the next few days so that the hospital can place the order. Can anyone offer any advice? Has anyone chosen the Insight and wished they'd stayed with the combo? Thanks in anticipation [/QUOTE]
