Pay attention to when the warranty runs out. After that, you can't get your pump fixed. The only thing you can do is buy a new one. Medtronic will call you the day after the warranty runs out to "help" you upgrade!!! I haven't even finished paying for this one and now it doesn't work correctly and all I can do is buy another one. This sucks. Pick another pump supplier.
I've been using a minimed pump for 8 years. Have been diabetic for 26 years. What a huge amount of freedom this offers. One of the things it helps with the most is regulating insulin after a fatty meal. If you are interested in tighter control and a lot more freedom, talk to your doctor about this option! Customer service is great too.
