[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 988173, member: 49223"] I'm currently on the Combo, due to replace in few months. in the past I have trialled the Omnipod and liked it. Below are my personal thoughts based upon my own needs. Yesterday I was lucky enough to look (hands on) at all the UK pumps including the Cell Novo. I tried the new Insight extensively and could not find it any slower than the Combo to undertake blood tests or to set bolus's etc, if anything I thought it was far better than the existing Combo handset. (edit - there is also a new handset due in month or two with touch swipe sensitive rather than pressure sensitive screen) In the end my decision was to go for the Insight because I wanted a remote with the option of pump control. The two others I liked were the Omnipod and Vibe. The Omnipod I turned down because you must have the remote with you at all times, there are times when I do and do not want to remote control - also the remote is too large and the new one is not due till at least back end 2016 (advised by company rep). The Vibe I turned down because it did not have remote capability, even though I'd save money on the Dexcom sensors, I decided the remote was more important (edit - this was a close call) The Cell Novo still seems to be not quite ready, from what I could see they only just recalled all the previous build pumps and were replacing them, in a year or so they might be a good choice for me. The Medtronic was too large, both pump and handset, the CGM seems to have less fans than the Dexcom. [/QUOTE]
