I've been offered a choice between these two pumps, I'm interested to hear people's opinions - particularly if anyone has experience of both and can compare and contrast! (I won't be getting the CGM along with the Medtronic, just the pump.)
I'm doing a lot of reading (starting with the stuff the DSN gave me but also random threads on here and other places, blog reviews etc) and the Medtronic seems to be edging forward, I've seen a few reviews of the Insight where people said when asked if they'd have a different pump they'd like a Medtronic.
Seems like the Medtronic doesn't have a proper remote, but boluses can be sent from the linked meter, whereas the Insight has a 'full' remote control so you don't have to get the device out from wherever you've got it stashed on your person.
The Medtronic seems to have lots of options (clearly I haven't been properly educated on pump therapy yet haha) that the Insight possibly doesn't. I had a look at the demo pumps today and they both seemed to be of a similar size. Any input super welcome! Any considerations I should make that I maybe haven't thought of as a complete pump novice?
PS where do people wear their pumps? This is going to be a whole new world!
