[QUOTE="EricW2004, post: 2364404, member: 537912"] Hi everyone, I've just joined. I hope you are all well, particularly your diabetes management. I am going onto a pump this year, fingers crossed, and need to choose a pump by tomorrow. I am hesitating between Tandem TSlim and Ypsopump. Please help me decide I like that both are small, light and touchscreen. Here are the pluses and minuses I have gleaned so far, please tell me if you agree and what other points I need to bear in mind: TSlim + Seems to have easier touchscreen, including pop up keyboard Integrated bolus calculator USB connection for charging and updating TSlim - Tube has a kind of connector thing (see picture) in it close to the end that looks uncomfortable (Diabetic Danica criticises this on Youtube) No prefilled "plug and play" insulin cartridges. Some people say cartridge changing is hard work Slightly bigger and heavier than Ypsopump Some on Youtube like Diabetic Danica criticise the clip Ypsopump + 360 degree canula rotation Slightly smaller and lighter than TSlim Plug and play cartridges and glass prefill cartridges Ypsopump - There is criticism of the Ypsopump infusion sets, particularly the cannulas on this forum as uncomfortable (is that true of everyone?) No integrated bolus calculator, no keypad on touchscreen, seems harder to use than TSlim with fewer Bolus options No idea what clip options are like There don't seem to be any independent user testimonials on Ypsopump on Youtube. They're all in the corporate channel. That makes me suspicious Anyone with advice please help ... I don't have long to decide [/QUOTE]
