What pump do you want and what are the infusion sets like?

[\Daf/]

I’m just wonder what everyone is on and what pump will be your be your next and why, are the infusion set good?

I think personally Roche has the best infusion set ever, for the insight, never itched and what a great insertion tool that was,

My best pump so far and I’ve had 6 is the Medtronic 780g

Best CGM Is the Dexcom, but that made me sore and itch like a rabid dog!

I'm due for renewal in December this year, ironically I've never kept an insulin pump for the full 4 years due to reasons out of my control but my current pump Medtronic 780g I will have had for 4 years.

I've only ever had 2 pumps the Animas and Medtronic. I originally went for Medtronic as it was similar to the Animas who were going out of business at the time. When it comes down to it I think I will stick with Medtronic, I'm used to their systems anyway and I've heard for closed loop Tandem is far behind Medtronic and I don't want to go backwards with my control when it is really good currently. I have never liked the idea of the Omnipod and I think my choices are fairly limited in my hospital, the last time I asked I only had the option of Medtronic or t-slim.

I use the Mio Infusion sets (not the extended ones) and have never had any issues, I think they're pretty simple to use and relatively painless.

I too was on the Animas, I really loved that
Pump, but my glucose was so out of control, I went to the next pump, which I can’t think of right now?

I’m off to the hospital Monday, I will ask for the Mio, as the ones I’m on I hate, I was on the T-Slim but my bloods barely got below 20! The Medtronic has brought me down under 10 and 95-100% reading on the pump, so very happy, it’s just the G4 and Simplera I don’t like.

I’ve just seen that Medtronic are discontinuing the Mio in the U.K., if that’s where you are @\Daf/

Oh no, it just gets worse, where did find that out?
I know the price between the quick set and mio is around £35 difference. Thanks for the heads up.

It’s the infusion sets. Will look at what’s happening with the pump

It seems that the Minimed Mio Advance is ok, still available

Thank goodness for that, if anything I would imagine the pump would be updated?
Thank you for the info, in trotting off to the hospital Monday I’ll ask if I can have the Mio, thanks again
