[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 219421, member: 12578"] It's worth looking at the features on a comparison chart like this one which applies to models available in the UK [url=http://www.ipagscotland.org/images/pdf/ukpumpcompare.pdf]http://www.ipagscotland.org/images/pdf/ ... ompare.pdf[/url] (note, you need to look at the second page to get all the headings) Even so though things that you think will be important aren't always so important in practice. When I was choosing mine, I thought that waterproof would be important because I swim daily in Summer, then I was told that the French authorities had advised against using any pump in the water, so I went with the medtronic so that everyone on my course would have the same pump. Since then I've discovered that I always drop whilst swimming so there is no problem.. I don't need a pump in the water. On the other hand I have no remote for my pump which is normally fine, one less thing to lose but it does mean that wearing a dress it is difficult to bolus. I only use about 25u of insulin a day so one bonus of the medtronic for me is the smaller reservoir, I can fill it and it lasts for 6 days [/QUOTE]
