[QUOTE="Dan87, post: 1513938, member: 191060"] Coming to the point where I need to state my preference to the DSN for which pump I would prefer, to then see if I get funding for it. Having done a lot of research my favourites at this moment in time seem to be: [B]Medtronic Minimed 640G[/B] Plus points: Remote which doubles up as BGM, can get CGM if self-fund Negatives: CGM more expensive than Dexcom etc. [B]Omnipod[/B] Plus points: Remote which doubles up as BGM, small patch (I exercise regularly - football mainly) Negatives: No CGM available [B]Dana Diabecare R[/B] Plus points: Remote which doubles up as BGM, smallest/lightest of the tubed pumps, can control pump through app on phone Negatives: No CGM available, less popular than other pumps therefore less tested I'm put off the Accu-chek insight due to a few really bad reviews from others on here. Not totally against the accu-chek combo, however there is no CGM available and it doesn't have the benefit of being light and small like the Omnipod or the Dana. The Vibe gets good reviews but has no remote/BGM. Considering I play football twice a week (once competitively for 90 mins), should this be pushing me towards the Omnipod? Or, should CGM still be the dealbreaker? All help much appreciated, Dan [/QUOTE]
