[QUOTE="ChrisBar, post: 1981070, member: 499959"] Hi my name is Chris and i am a mother to 3 children 16,13,10 wife to Martin 20 years this year and i am also diabetic - type 1. I don't like to introduce myself as Hi i'm Chris and i'm diabetic! Anyway that aside i have had diabetes 24 years this December. I have been on a pump for 5 years which unfortunately as it is an Animas Vibe i am being forced to change it. My options are Medtronic and Accu-Chek Insight. When i chose my first pump you didn't really know what it entailed but now that i know (!) of this permanent attachment to my body i feel more thought has to be given. I like the Medtronic and i thought i would go for that first off but then being shown the Insight i fell for that one too - i'm a woman can't make my mind up! The reviews i have read though put me off a little with the handheld device which appears to be replaced a lot also I am on Humalog and that means a change of insulin which my husband is nervous off for me having being through quite a journey to get to this place. Any feedback, thoughts or just a friendly introduction would be most appreciated. Have a wonderful Wednesday. [/QUOTE]
