[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 301687, member: 14029"] All you have to do is ask Surrey PCT for the info. It's called freedom of information. THey have to provide the info. As to life enhancement betewen the two! Personally I would not touch the tubeless for anything. It can be knocked off, which can leave you with no cannula in to trickle feed the remaining insulin into you, if you don't happen to have a spare. Not sure if they have improved it's reliability yet but at one point all you saw on the net was complaints about pod failures My personal view is I would rather have a pump with the brains (wizard) on the pump and not by some handset that can decide it ain't going to talk to the pod. Same with a handset easier to damage or lose. Far to much plastic etc for the landfill sites. If you have been offered a pump then accept it and be gratefull. If you don't like whats on offer then stay on MDI, problem solved. The staff have to have training for each pump they supply so this also might be an issue. You just don't notice a tubed pump anyway so no idea what you are objecting to. There are different lengths of tubes so the pump can be place where you want on your body. I personally think you are making a mountin out of a mole hill. [/QUOTE]
