[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1520125, member: 265172"] Hi [USER=71614]@IceLover[/USER] ! I do love my pump, [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] is right! :) [U]Pros[/U] [LIST] [*]Small and easy to wear [*]Remote control/meter/bolus calculator handset is easy to navigate [*]Hosepipe outlet is sleek and attractive - there's no big sticky outy bit for the hosepipe to stick out of [*]Comfy cannulas (I use Flex, which I apply using a Flex Assist inserter gadget) [*]I don't have to fiddle with it if I don't want to - I can drive it using just the handset [*]I [I]can[/I] fiddle with it and press buttons directly on the pump if I want to, though, which I do sometimes [*]Prefilled cartridges mean I don't have to fill a reservoir with a syringe [*]Excellent customer service support [/LIST] [U]Cons[/U] [LIST] [*]Handset can be slow to respond [*]1.6ml cartridge might be an issue for those on large doses so need bigger capacity (NOT a problem for me, though) [*]Handset hard to read in bright light, particularly outside [*]I'm on my third handset as the on-off switch on my first two failed - this did NOT affect my safe use of the pump, though [/LIST] [U]The thing that may be affecting my opinion of it[/U] It's my first pump, so it's so life changing that I can't view it as anything other than perfect I know that [USER=161717]@Gaz-M[/USER] has, and [USER=246050]@Type1Lad[/USER] had, problems with bubbles. I haven't. I didn't have a choice for my pump (I was told about one other they offer at my diabetes centre but they wouldn't recommend it due to a large number of failures) and am very happy with it. When the Insight was first recommended to me it was on the strength of its excellent (and, I gather, clever) bolus calculating, which my team were very taken with (although I don't know the ins and outs of its mathematics!). Love it. :p [/QUOTE]
