[QUOTE="Capt-Slog, post: 2072974, member: 500850"] Hi lilymoon, I too have been approved for a pump and I am waiting to hear if I can have the pump I want. I too had the choice of your three pumps, as well as the 640G, the 670G and the Omnipod. At first I thought I was very lucky to have such a large choice as many CCG's only offer 1. After simply loads of research, I went back to my team and asked if I could be considered for the Tandem T:Slim X2 pump. After an initial blank state, and the obvious statement of "But we don't DO that one" they have decided to support my request locally, but it still has to be approved at the AREA meeting. I know this doesn't directly answer your question, and I don't even have a pump to say "mine is really good" but I thought I would just try to show that if you like the look of another pump, then it is at least worth asking your DSN if they would consider adding it to their choices. Bear in mind that you will probably be stuck with your choice of pump for about 4 years, so it is worth doing everything you can to get the one that is right for you. I know a LOT of people like the Omnipod (which is another one not on your list [emoji12]). If it is any help. There was a lady who posted very recently, who had an Ypsomed and was very unhappy with it, to the point of being really distressed. I rejected the Ypsomed because I simply couldn't find anyone who was talking about it online. Literally nobody. That is a bad sign. Another thing that a lot of people miss when looking for a pump is what is happening to the market share value of the parent company in the news. Ypsomed shares are going down quite a lot and that is usually a sign of bad sales. Roche has always been a reliable company and I know a lot of people that have both the Insight and the Combo. I have a good friend who has recently changed from the Insight to the Combo and seems very happy, but everyone has different feelings and your pump is exactly that.. YOUR pump. Good luck with your choice and keep us informed about how you get on, which one you choose and why. [/QUOTE]
