[QUOTE="LaughingHyena, post: 421363, member: 29694"] I'm opting for the animas vibe. I like the idea of everything being on the pump itself, I like to keep a meter in the car/handbag/where ever and didn't like the idea of needing to carry a remote round with me everywhere. I spend enough time looking for my keys :lol: It also seemed a bit smaller than the combo, which again appealed to me. No doubt there will be times I have it tucked under clothing and curse not having a remote though. From the point I went to the first pump clinic and got the approval it's only been a couple of months (and part of that is down to my not being able to make appointments due to childcare over the summer holidays). However it has been nearly a year since the pump was first talked about. Over that year I've had regular appointments and changed quite a few things (changed insulin, ratios etc) and had to keep a couple of detailed food diaries to show my carb counting. I haven't been on a specific course though. Good luck to those of you asking about pumps, it does feel like the right tool should make this whole diabetes thing a bit easier to manage. [/QUOTE]
