[QUOTE="GingerGG, post: 2366397, member: 538223"] Hi everyone! Long time reader, first time poster :) Hope you're all doing well! I have been diabetic for nearly 20 years, on a pump for 10 years, and I am (over)due my third pump update. My biggest problem since diagnosis is that I do not test nowhere near enough which means my control is not tight enough, so I am looking into self-funding a CGM alongside my new pump (I have given up with begging for NHS funding at every appointment). I have been using the Medtronic Minimed 640g pump for the past 5 years, and have gotten on alright with it. It's easy enough to use, and I like the integration between the testing kit and the pump. I do not like how much plastic you have to use to inject the infusion set but needs must. I am leaning towards getting a new Medtronic 640g and investing in their CGM because it's familiar and because of their new self-funding packages, but I also have been considering the Tandem t:slim X2 Pump alongside dexcom. Any opinions advice would be great! (I also have some weight to shift, so if that would potentially sway the decision, would love to hear it!) For ref, the pumps I have been offered to choose from: [B]Advanced Therapeautics: DANA [/B]RS, Tandem t:slim X2 Pump, Omnipod DASH Pump, MiniMed 640G (& potentially [B]Medtronic[/B]: MiniMed 670G), [B]Roche[/B]: Combo or Solo [/QUOTE]
