[QUOTE="sicko666, post: 613295, member: 19942"] Hi everyone thanks for the info its helped a lot, it seems virtually everyone has a CGM wish my pct funded them i really do! BUT as they dont i ended up telling them i have decided for the Accu-Chek Combo with the FlexLink PLUS infusion sets and LinkAssist PLUS Insertion Device. Mainly after looking over my sisters Veo pump i didnt really like the idea of having to handle it everytime i needed to adjust the dose,lol, once its attached to my body it will be held down with superglue! So the combo's coloured remote seemed the best option for me ( my eyes are not that good so colour remote seemed best), it was a very close decision though. The Veo has CGM ready ( and my sister has one ) so it was my first choice but then because i could never afford CGM and my health team dosent fund them i decided a pump with remote might be better to see, handle. Then the DANA it looked good but i have a lot of insulin so thought it would be a little too small. The Animas fantastic looking little pump i liked it a lot, but between the combo with colour screen and the Animas gray one i thought the combo would be easier to see...It also has a very low increment dose ajustment which i think i really will need to control the shifts at night. In all it was a really,really hard decision, if the Veo had a coloured remote it would have won hands down, equally if the Combo had a CGM ready feature it would have won easilly, and if the vibe had coloured screen it would have resulted in a coin toss. They ALL sound great but not a single one has got it all....Lol what we all need is one that has a CGM built in AND is controlled by a big colour screened remote ( preferbly with strips casste and lancet drum built in! )....Lol now where do i sign up for these companies design teams!!!!! Seriously thank you all for the input, it really,really was a hard decision perhaps if Havering funding board decides to give me a pump i will let people know how easy and effective the Combo actually is?!
