Pump Shopping

I’ve talked with the Minimed Rep and the Animas Rep.

I’m more than likely to go with Animas. I would like to try out the Minimed CGMS before I make a decision, but I doubt they will go for that.  The local rep wasn’t interested in having me try it, anyway.  I will say that if the Minimed CGMS worked, I would good with them.  But I’m not committing 4 years and over $6000 in insurance money to that cause without actually going through a full cycle. 

I don’t like that the Ping only comes in silver.  I want a black Ping.

I love the Ping though.  It works nicely, user interface is much better than the one on the pump.

Besides I know Animas customer service and they have better infusion sets.  I don’t like any of the choices that come with the Minimed and yes, I’ve tried them all.

I would like to try Cosmo, but haven’t heard from them.  I suppose I need to call their main office, rather than leaving a message with the local reps.

Both pump reps were good.
