Options for first pump

Hi there just looking for people’s opinions and thoughts. Been type 1 for two years and currently looking at getting a pump.

local hospital has said I have the option of Medtronic 780g or Medtrum nano patch pump (both with respective cgms, which I would have to self fund)

I like the thought of the medtrum being so small etc and all controlled from phone and glucose levels being viewed on Apple Watch. But it only has low glucose suspend whereas the 780g has auto correction bolus which would be great.

seeing as I would have to self fund either of the cgms, I’m thinking it would make sense to have the pump with the most capability to make it worth it.

Any thoughts and advise would be great. Thanks

Thanks.

I am definitely leaning towards the 780g I think. Just seems to be better technology. Was originally a bit worried about being tethered but I think overall it might be better than patch pump that cant be moved once it’s on for a few days.

I am on the Medtronic 670G and cgm. It has some problems which I'm sure would mostly be overcome if I was updated to the 780G. A friend was on the Medtrum and his BGs were all over the place. When he was changed to the 780G he found it fantastic in comparison.
