[QUOTE="FatCatAnna, post: 2611891, member: 33311"] Ypsopump is good for anyone using insulin - whether it's low amount or more. The changing of the glass vials is very simple to do, if you run out of insulin inbetween your infusion changes. I think in the EU (I'm in Canada - where we have refillable glass vials for the Ypsomed rather than prefilled ones that are easily plunked into the pump). I tested the pump out here last year, and if it hadn't been for technical issues during the trial, where Ypsomed decided I was a pain in the **** (my words - but how I read their scribbles when the requested the pump back before the end of the trial) - I might still be on it. Interesting about having an A1c above 8% to be eligible for closed looping. I'm in the same boat, where I self fund the CGM here in Canada - even though I am hypo unaware - and reason I have been self funding since 2016 ... sadly my endo refuses to sign paper work to allow help. The joys of countries like Canada and UK that have socialised health care - doesn't always mean that you can get onto some of the technology, etc. that you admire from afar. [/QUOTE]
