[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 847303, member: 14029"] Hi Paul, assuming you are in the UK if you are entitled to a pump, then you should be able to choose which pump you want. Both the Animas vibe and the Medtronic pump have CGM capability. This means the receiver is built into the pump so you then have to supply you sensors and transmitter yourself, which is obviously a cheaper option. Cost wise it's cheaper to have the Vibe as this is teamed with Dexcom due to the sensors being able to be used for a lot longer than the Medtronic sensors. If you want a CGM only then Advanced Therapeutics supply the Dexcom stand alone system. You don't need a prescription for it, so can go ahead and order one without medical say so. You need to sit down when you are told the price though as it's not cheap. If you want a pump then you need to ask your consultant about having one. [/QUOTE]
