Hi, I am trying to make a decision of which pump to go for and wonder if anyone have an opinion on these two? Have you tried them yourselves and would you recommend them? Pros and cons? Would be super grateful for advice from another t1d

Medtronic 640 without the dexcom or Medtrum Nano which is very new I believe …


Thanks, Linn

What is important to you?
Do you want tubed or tubeless?
Is size important?
Do you want a PDM/phone app or would you rather use the pump to bolus from?
Would you rather have something that is mature or new to the market?

I use the Medtrum.
I previously had a tubed pump and changed to Medtrum nearly 3 years ago.
I prefer a tubeless pump, I like that it is small and discrete, I like the phone app and the custom service is great.
They upgrade the pump when new features are released. For example, the phone app needed an upgrdae and they replaced the A6 with the Nano.

I have no experience of the Medtronic but it seems to be much more common.
