Hi all
I have the opportunity for a pump.
I have sampled the Omnipod trial version to see what it's like. I have tried it it two locations. Arm and abdomen. The arm was ok, but I kept knocking into things. Will take some erring use to I guess.
The abdomen tried and I did not get on with it at all. By the end of the day I wanted to rip it off me. The constant tapping of my dirt drove me crazy. I have one left to try on my leg tomorrow.
I have other options with cannula system but for obvious reasons I cannot try these.
So my question is can anyone suggest the best pump other than Omnipod. I like the idea of Omnipod but not sure it will fit into my life when I need to rotate it around my body.
I am moving to a pump to tighten my control and to provide flexibility to my life. I have to consider my job also in all of this.
With regards to pumps do any of you use CGM and does any of the pumps come with any device, or is this something I need to buy.
Choices I have:
ROCHE
MEDTRONIC
ANIMAS
THANKS FOR LOOKING. advice welcomed!
