[QUOTE="SKB_9, post: 2393800, member: 426767"] Wow everyone this is all so helpful, thank you all so much. Some really good suggestions on how to consider what might work for me. I have learned that I am lucky to get so much choice but I really felt I needed a bit more guidance. For those interested, ([USER=500850]@Capt-Slog[/USER] [USER=482479]@sleepster[/USER] the ones I have been told to look at are Medtronic 640G, Roche Accucheck Insight, Omnipad dash, A6 Touchcare, Tandem slim, mylife ypsopump. I’d love a closed loop but unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to afford it now I have my baby and nursery fees, I use the libre with good success which I self funded until it was offered by nhs. That will have to do for at least the next four years and then I might be able to reconsider! thanks, no one has mentioned this to me but I was told to consider the omnipod, not sure if they’ve checked this already or not but I will make sure to ask. Just made a note in my phone of what I’ve had so far today and will do for the next couple of days! I do keep getting told I’m very sensitive to insulin... I have read that in a couple of threads on here actually, I’m 1:10 or 1:12 at the moment so if I do find I need less then even better! Agreed!! I felt the same when I was first diagnosed it was mentioned and I wrote it off, I think it was all a bit overwhelming for me at the time but now I feel ready to give it a go! I’m actually looking forward to it especially now I’ve had such useful insights here. Insurance hasn’t even been mentioned so thanks to both of you who did here, I will ask about this too. I’m definitely leaning towards omnipod and have a few useful questions to ask the nurse now, but I’ll go and look at the others now I have a bit of direction! I have to choose by next week. I used loads of ‘reply’ functions in this which I’ve not done before so apologies if it’s all gone awry, I’ll have another go if it did! [/QUOTE]
