[QUOTE="davidhughes1984, post: 1164568, member: 301501"] Hi guys, After a long wait, I'm at the point where I have to choose my pump. The choices are... Accu Check Insight Animas Vibe Medtronic 640g I had always assumed I would go for the Insight as the Bluetooth remote seemed a killer feature - however there are obviously a few pros and cons to them all... Insight.... Has pre-filled cartridges...but only 160 units Not fully waterproof Is the remote a little bit unresponsive?? No built in CGM...although I tend to use the Libe (lot cheaper) Built in BG tester Have to carry an extra remote The remote in particular seems a bit flimsy Animas.... Sees very ruggedly built Fully waterproof CGM receiver Screen a bit old fashioned looking Self filled vials Medtronic.... Good looking screen CGM receiver built in Waterproof Can use the Contour Next Link as a basic remote Can hold up to 300units...albeit self filled Those are just a few observations I have made as a non pump user who has never owned a pump - just wondering if anyone can chip in with any personal experience about what features are most important....or equally, become the most annoying??? I will be a first time pump user, fairly high insulin requirement, quite technical, Freestyle Libre user.
