[QUOTE="\Daf/, post: 2529487, member: 552450"] I too had those choices of pumps, I’m in the 60 year old bracket, but find them all easy to play around with, as I’m interested in that sort of thing. My choice is the T Slim Basal, but, I have to self fund the Dexcom, even though way back when, I did medical trial for them on the Dexcom 3. I looked into all 3 pumps, The Omnipod was too bulky for me, the 780 I can’t remember why I didn’t go for that, but the T Slim has the basal to keep me in a tighter control, I’m also doing away with Novo rapid insulin, they can stuff their vials where the sun don’t shine, appalling service from this Micky mouse outfit. The slim has a 3ml tank, plug-in rechargeable battery, and best of all, it can update itself, unlike most pumps. I get my new pump in September, but this accu-chek runs out in 3 weeks time, I’ve told the hospital I will not wear it after that, after all the problems I’ve had with the **** thing, so I’ll be back on pens again, so hopefully the hospital will pull their finger out and get a “Rep” out to show me the ropes, sadly my nurse is leaving and it’s just manic in the hospital at this time. If you can, get the 780/t slim/ Omnipod pamphlets, read them and make your choice, ask your nurse if like me you have to self fund, which is in the region of £10,000 over the 4 years, perhaps they may pay for it, I don’t see why I have to, but that’s another forum chat. Good luck and let me know what you’re going with. Lastly I’ll be on Humalog fast acting with the T Slim [emoji106] [/QUOTE]
