[QUOTE="Pudgem, post: 830882, member: 162470"] Hi Jenzor. I thought I would tell you about my recent choice, if it helps. I like you felt my decision was being steered by the cgm rather than the pump. Which is why initially I was all over the vibe. Then I heard about the 640g and insight and swung back and forth more times than I can remember. I have now decided to go with the insight, and my reasons are: For me, the remote is going to be a huge help. I have a busy job, in and out of the office, travelling, meetings and all sorts. The idea of getting the pump out at meeting etc to give bolus's was worrying me slightly. I really did prefer an integrated system, but the 640g will cost more which I would prefer to avoid as will be self funding, and also I am not convinced at how reliable the smartguard will be given the spikes etc. I have been reading a lot about the dexcom G5. This is obviously not yet out and is likely not to be until the end of this year at the earliest. The fact that this will communicate with my iPhone means I will not need a separate receiver, and given that the sensors last longer is a much more cost effective option. I of course could be wrong about the dexcom and its features but from the presentations dexcom have done, it's certainly heading that way. Even if I am wrong, I cannot wait for the insight. It's a lovely looking pump, has the convenience of the pre filled cartridges, and the remote from what I have seen so far is amazing - a bg meter on steroids! I am sure it won't happen, but I secretly hope that accu-chek will eventually release a app to similar to the Dario app which could replace the remote. - I can keep dreaming! [/QUOTE]
