[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 2393284, member: 49223"] Hi Sara [USER=542142]@Sedge15[/USER] All pumps on there own offer very similar capabilities, choice is mostly down to size and weight. The t:slim also has ability to link to Dexcom G6 CGM so it acts like a dimmer switch turning up and down (or off) your insulin based upon your blood sugar. Its not on your list but mentioned by [USER=465882]@Maco[/USER] the Medtronic 780G which uses its own CGM system and is very much like the t:slim in operation. The Medtrum A7 also has its own CGM system but I'm not sure if its fully released or available in the UK, I've not heard of anyone using it (that I can recall). The Medtrum A7 is a tubeless pump (patch pump) too, where the other three have tubing between the pump and the infusion site. Hope this helps, it really depends on your son's needs. Each have different positives, I myself prefer tubed pumps that I can take off if playing sport, but some like the waterproof tubeless patch pumps but a 16 year old may not want people seeing his pump stuck to his skin........
