I dont think a week goes by without someone complaining about them.  I have not noticed that with any other pump company.  (Maybe Distronic, but that&#8217;s okay, the FDA isn&#8217;t letting them do anything in the USA anyway).<\/p>\n<p>Then I sat down and looked at some websites comparing the pumps.  Deltec Cozmo and Animas had almost the same features I was looking for.  Very adjustable flow rates, water proof (we have a pool), etc.  <\/p>\n<p>I was invited to a support group demoing EasyManager Plus and even though the rep wasn&#8217;t that good at demoing, I could see that the software put Animas over the top for me.

Much more flexible than I think the MiniMed Paradigm model is, and more flexible than Cozmo.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s why I made my decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first thing I did, when my doctor suggested I look into the pump, was do a web search on insulin pump.
