[QUOTE="Capt-Slog, post: 2045034, member: 500850"] [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER]: "What is your criteria for “best pump”? I believe this is a personal decision and we all have different criteria." Sorry [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER], that is very true. Perhaps I should have said "I think the t:slim X2 is probably the best pump for me". My primary and overiding requirement is a large reservoir. This has reduced my choices quite a lot, which was a bit of a relief to be honest as I was getting inundated with information. Which Animas pump have you got? Is it the Vibe? Presumably now Animas is out of the insulin pump market, you will have to change pumps? I guess you have become very attached to it (seriously, no pun intended). As for the t:slim size, I believe it is the smallest 300u tube pump (available on the NHS) at the current time. It is also smaller than almost all other small reservoir pumps. 50.8 x 79.5 x 15.2 mm = 61,386.72 = X2 50.8 x 82.6 x 21.8 mm = 91,474.54 = Vibe 53.3 x 96.0 x 24.4 mm = 124,849.92 = 670G This shows that the Vibe is 150% larger than the X2 and the 670g is twice the size. Of course there are smaller PATCH pumps like the Omnipod, but it only holds 200u which is no good for me. I have been looking at lots of YouTube videos from people who make regular Vlogs about diabetes and a lot of them are changing over to the t:slim X2. They all seem to be raving about it. I know we are all different, but if size is really important to you, perhaps take another look at the X2. [/QUOTE]
