[QUOTE="Rianne, post: 2048173, member: 427618"] Hi Steve04, Allthough you have made your decision already you might still be interested te learn about the Ypsopump. If not, maybe it is of relevance for others. This week I changed from the Insight to the Ypsopump. Just a few days of experience but I can give you what I found some pro's and con's for me personally. I have diabetes for 40 years and wanted a simple pump. I do not use a boluscalculator, FGM or CGM. - I wanted a simple pump that is as small as possible: I am very happy with the compact and light Ypsopump. Although the difference in weight and dimensions seems neglibible, for me this is a valuable improvement. - My skin reacts with thickening from in the past all the injections and now from the inserted canulas. The Insight only comes with teflon canulas and with the Ypsopump I have the possibility to try the steel canulas. - It is quite a job to get used to the touchscreen of the Ypsopump but once your familiar with it, it works very userfriendly and quick. - I had trouble with unlocking the Insight manually: pushing the three button so quickly often failed and I had to try several times. The Ypsopump is easier to unlock. - Giving a blind bolus is much easier on the Insight. - Giving a standard, slow or mixed bolus on the Ypsopump works faster on the Ypsopump. - The infusionsets and canulas of the Insight are better protected against pricking into your fingers after use than those of the Ypsopump. - I find the inserter of the Ypsopump much easier to use than the one of the Insight. - I used 100cm thread and have to get used to only 80cm with the Ypsopump. 100cm was very comfortable when having the canula in my arm. - The Insight has more options, for example if you want the sound of a warning harder or softer. - The Insight as a better organised way of looking at history data per category. The Ypsopump only gives one long list, with all data gathered. These are split in historic actions and historic warnings. - The Insight has a better personalized option for the warning to replace the insulin cartridge. With the Ypsopump that comes in a very late stage, which means for me that I have to learn to check very frequently myself, how much insulin is in it. - The infusionsets and canulas of the Ypsopump are packed in larger blisters which I find inconvenient and bad for the environment. I found it a difficult choice and still think both pumps come very close to each other. Rianne [/QUOTE]
