I’ve been reading Printcrafter’s posts also, and unlike some, I’m not anxious to run out and get one.
Unlike the pump I paid for out of pocket — I don’t see a direct benefit. First, I’m fairly hypo aware. Second, I don’t tend have any. Maybe that’s a function of being a Type 2, but the only time I seem to have lows is when I am exercising, and they are pretty easy to prevent.
The annoyance factor looks pretty high too. The inserter is pretty nasty looking, and having that much extra bulk on the body seems annoying too.
For someone like me, I think having the ability to wear something like that for a week at a time, and then return it to the doctor’s office would be the best model. I know that the doctor’s office has the gold version, but I think it would be more useful to be able to see what is going on.
I’d love to borrow one for a few days to learn how to deal with some specific meals. I still don’t do pizza well at all, and I also have trouble with Mexican meals.
