[QUOTE="masonbason63, post: 2147133, member: 82468"] I was going to upgrade to another pump originally but with a lot of discussions etc and pros and cons, I’m starting on the above mentioned pump with CGM etc tomorrow. Although I have reasonably good control HbA1c between 5.5 & mid 6. I seem to have gained these figures by hypos etc well a few too many for my liking and I’m not getting hypo awareness. I’ve not had any other pumps apart from the early days of pumping than AccuChek and they’ve been very reliable etc. I’m very apprehensive about the whole thing I’ve been checked that I can see all the figures, controls etc (can’t see much) I’ve used the Insight the last 8 years and I’m very lucky (and very grateful) that I’ve been fully funded through my pumping years 23 of them. But couldn’t get funding for the LIBRE so self funded till I couldn’t do this anymore. I’m hoping that all what it says on the website and reviews lives up to expectations. I know I’ll have to run an even tighter ship than normal but the only downside I’ve noticed from what I’ve been told and read NO Pre filled cartridges. Ive watched videos etc on the sets , insertion and priming, just hope I’ve made the right decision. I’d like any useful comments about this pump if people can give me some tips Thanks [/QUOTE]
