Hi, I went to a pump education evening last night and ended up choosing the accu chek insight, but after further research at home I'm worried I have made the wrong choice due to the pump not holding as much insulin.

If anybody is using it, is it a lot of hassle to keep refilling the pump? Or is it quite simple and wouldn't really be an issue?
 
I find the pump really easy to fill, especially with the profiled cartridges.
 
I change the prefilled cartridge around every 4 days and find it easy, been using the insight for just over 6 weeks and it's going well.
 
I've been using it for about four months and find filling both cartridge and canula very easy and quick. Change cartridge every 6 days or so, Canula every 3.
 
It is literally putting in a cartridge.. No filling plastic cartidges like on the old pump.

Depends how much insulin you use a day though.. Most of the pumps don't hold a lot though...
