Hi everyone
I’ve got the Medtronic 780 pump with the cgm sensor, it’s the only one I’ve ever had so don’t know any different! Was just wondering what’s everyone’s favourite/ least favourite pumps?
 
I used to have Medtronic pump but changed it to Tandem T-Slim when it came up for renewal. I prefer the T-Slim. I use it with Dexcom 6.
 
I have never used a Medtronic pump - they are larger than my first pump (Animas - no longer available) which I was unable to hide so I felt much more conscious about my diabetes.
But this highlights the point that there is no "best pump". There is the "best pump for you".
Size, ability to control it via a phone app, small doses and connection to a CGM are the key points for me.
My Medtrum ticks these boxes but I would not describe it as the best pump because it has some reliability issues.
 
I have to agree with @In Response, there is not really a "best pump". Also when comparing most of us are comparing a relatively new pump to one that was just replaced (so over 4 years old), so not really a like for like comparison especially with so many newer pumps around.
