Hi everyone,
I’m considering going on a pump lately. Who wants to help me narrow down the brand choices? Here are the things I think I care about. (Obviously there may be things I don’t yet know I care about, as I haven’t pumped before–feel free to suggest.)
- Ability to use Apidra (the only deal-breaker; I’m not going back to Humalog)
- Reliability. Especially how easy it is to confirm when something’s gone wrong
- Good and easy to use IOB function (I microcorrect)
- Fast to use “superbolus” function - I expect I would be doing that a lot
- Easy to adjust basals, e.g. raise everything by 10% (mine fluctuate a bunch)
- I’m happy with my Freestyle Lite meter, ability to keep using it would be nice (also ability to enter a BG value manually, so I can correct from my Dexcom when appropriate
Basically, everyone tell me what you think of your pump brand!
