Hi all,
I currently use the Accu check Insight and I'm due for an upgrade in the new year. Have been sent a list from the hospital of pumps to choose from.
I'm very happy with my insight, apart from the well known slowness issues with the handset. I am not on large doses so the prefilled 1.6ml cartridge is ample for 3-4 days for me.
Have just discovered that the handset for the Insight has been discontinued. They are moving to a phone app which is still in development. Was told by helpline that I will be provided with an Accu check Mobile meter to use with the MySugr app whilst waiting for the new app. This also means that the boluses and basal insulin will have to be manually inputted - requiring the pump to be retrieved from pump belt inside clothing.
Not sure how I feel about this. And not sure that I trust Accu check to actually carry through and finish the app. Anyone else in the same position?
Also, hate the Accu check Mobile! Big and noisy. Would definitely be using something else!
Any thoughts appreciated
Thanks,
D
