[QUOTE="megan, post: 2521398, member: 6160"] I have been on accucheck insight pump for about 7 years and the libre now. It doesn't help that they phased out the handset and now the pump soon as well. I'd looked forward to going in the pump for years as I thought it would solve so many problems. But it didn't. It's great having this one machine plugged in but there in lays a problem. I would not inject in the same place with the pen but that is what you do when you don't change the cannula with each meal or each day ( which of course you don't do). I have to change doses and basal rates too and then there's another reason to change them again just a few days later if that. Having my MySugr app fail me this year and wipe all my measurements caused me huge problems. I was always a little weary of trusting a machine to take over from me and do my calculations as I thought not having to think about that but I may get rusty. And when the app calculator failed then I had a problem. But that's in part to do with my pump no longer having a handset to have all that info easily to hand. So this pump is no longer progressing or improving but maybe others are. But I am also concerned about a closed loop system for the previously mentioned reasons. I have ME and terrible brain fog so have to make myself lots of notes. Hope you find some answer [/QUOTE]
