[QUOTE="Smwood, post: 899151, member: 195468"] Hey Bri281295, So I've been on the minimed pump for about three years now and I can tell you there really isn't much of a downfall to it. I love it. I am able to better control my bgs. You have more control over how much insulin you're getting through the day and it keeps track of it for you. You can set reminders and even do a delay release for like if you're eating at a buffet or something. If I had to find a downfall I'd say the cord can get caught on things, and I've had it torn out of my body lol. I know it can be scary for the first little bit. And it can get stressful trying to figure out how much to set your basal rate to; but trust me when I say that once you have that figured out, it is smooth sailing and an excellent decision to make.
