[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1218481, member: 265172"] I absolutely love my Insight pump - it doesn't need any kind of fiddling with because everything is doable from the handset (which is a meter, bolus calculator and remote control all in one), and it has prefilled insulin cartridges so it's quick and easy to change. The cartridges contain 160 units and each one lasts me around 6 days. I can wear it on my body without any part of it being on show, and I don't have to fish it out to press any buttons (although I can do it that way, if I want to not use the handset for any reason - like when I needed to tweak it slightly the other week halfway round the parkrun course!), which means it's really, really convenient. The cannulas I find comfy and straightforward - I use the Flex ones, and I have an inserter (a spring loaded gadget) to fire them in with. I have zero pump envy towards users of other pumps, because this one is just right for me. Mind you, it's my first pump so to be honest I would probably be just as amazingly happy with whichever I'd ended up with (I didn't have a choice, in fact, but feel I've hit the jackpot!). I'm sure you'll make the right decision for your pump, [USER=129246]@Type1Bri[/USER] , whichever one you go for, and you'll never look back! :) [/QUOTE]
