Roche pulling pumps out of the USA

Just been made aware of this, not sure how this is going to impact those of us outside the USA.

There is also a report on Animas too, looks like Johnson and Johnson are restructuring to possibly sell of the pump business

Bad news...

That is bad news , as I understood it Animas has a new pump out this year as well so wonder what will happen.
Must admit I would love to have the Cozmo again, that was some pump all it needed was a CGM.

@CarbsRok - I think the news on the Animas Vibe replacement was basically that it's the same pump with Dexcom G5 support. Not much in terms of innovation.

That's a shame as that pump was built in the last century

Very sad for US patients
