Hello, I'm new to the forum..
I'm looking for some advice please.
I've not long been accepted for a pump and the funding in place.
I met with my pump team earlier this week and I'm to choose from the Medtronic 640g or the Accu-Check Insight.
The Insight had a flat battery so couldn't really get to see much of it, layout etc. Was told the handset can be very slow .
( I really wanted to see more of it )
The Medtronic however was getting lots of praise, it looked a good little pump. But I found a lot going on as the the DSN was scrolling through menu.
However this is all new to me so it would have my brain doing somersaults .
I couldn't make a decision there and then so went back to think and do research.
Will be letting my team know this next week or so .
Can anyone give me any advice on these pumps, if you use these models and pros and cons etc.
Be most grateful.
