Pump Shopping

Met with the final pump sales rep today — the Cozmo. I also heard back from Medtronics — going with the pump alone is going to cost around $200, so I need to find out that information from Animas and Cosmo.

I also want to wear the Medtronics CGMS system before I finally decide on it.  There are features on the Animas I like better (the Ping — and I have some questions on that), and there are features on the Cosmo I like better, but I am afraid out of pocket costs are going to be higher.

I do think that the Medtronics is the "worst" pump for me — they don't slice the insulin as fine as Animas and Cozmo do.  Animas does some slicing finer, and Cozmo does other finer. 

I like the size and feel of the Animas the best — I have been wearing it for 4 years, so I would.  I also think concealing it will be even easier IF the Ping system works.

Any one reading this have any feedback on the Ping?

    I got a Ping about three weeks ago, after eight years on a Minimed 508. I really like it, and the transition from old school 508 to whiz-bang Ping has been easy. What would you like to know? Email me at Lyrehca AT gmail DOT com.
