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.
Medtronic are discontinuing the MiniMed™ Mio™ Infusion sets. If you are currently using MiniMed™ Mio™ infusion sets, you will need to change to an alternative infusion set before 31 March 2023. After this date, MiniMed™ Mio™ infusion sets will no longer be 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
