I'd like some advice please.
I was diagnosed T1 in 1985 and have used Animas pumps since Nov 2008 (currently a Vibe) I've been self funding a Dexcom G4 Platinum since Jan 2016 to reduce my HbA1c (currently 51 so its working!). The bad news is that Animas have moved out of the pump market so I need to find a UK acceptable replacement to my present pump/cgm.
I like the Vibe & G4 , they allow lots of flexibility and user control, the pump is waterproof and links well to the G4. Everything I see and read suggests the industry is moving towards more automatic systems, shorter sensor life and much less user control unless balanced by regular calibration.
I'd really appreciate any thoughts on what options would best match my existing system. Animas are obliged to maintain the Vibe until 2021 when the warranty expires, so I have the option to wait and see if the technology improves over that period, but I'm nervous as Animas are already winding down their support.
Thanks your help, Robert.
