[QUOTE="azure, post: 234855, member: 39639"] Hi everyone - newbie here :) I've lurked around this site for a while but it was this post that spurred me on to join :D This is emphasis not shouting :) : ACCUCHEK D-TRON PLUS IS STILL AVAILABLE AND IT'S BRILLIANT! :thumbup: I don't know why HCPs (or Accuchek!) never mention it, but I've been on it for years and have no desire to change. It's still available, yes - check it out (hope I do the link right but copy and paste if I mess it up): http://www.accu-chek.co.uk/gb/products/insulinpumps/dtronplus.html The D-Tron Plus takes normal 3ml cartridges just like you'd use in an insulin pen. It's so quick and easy! I can't be bothered to faff about so I've stuck with the D-Tron and have no complaints with it. It's easy to use, comes with a good choice of sets and needles, and takes normal pre-filled cartridges! :clap: I suspect that Accuchek simply don't mention it because they try to encourage people to use their own newer pumps (the D-Tron was originally made by Disetronic which was taken over by Roche, I think). I got a new D-Tron recently (this Autumn) and Accuchek still tried to persuade me to have one of 'theirs' but I'm more than happy with the D-Tron, as I told them quite firmly! Then the lady admitted to me that 80% of people who have a D-Tron Plus stick with it. I'm sure the ease of being able to use pre-filled cartridges is a big part of that. Obviously, it has other features too, of course. I find it very reliable and simple to use and I lead a busy life. Different pumps suit different people and we should all choose what suits us personally as we're all different, but I do get annoyed when people aren't given the full choice or made aware of all the pumps available currently.
