I use MiniMed 530G pump since last year and I have decided to stick with it.

I use an insulin pump and have done for just over 6 months and it has brought by Hba1c down from 11 to 7 so I am delighted with it! It is hard work but well worth it and once you get it settled it is absolutely great. I would thoroughly recommend it!

I have been using an insulin pump for nearly a year now, at first I was very apprehensive of it but it took no time at all to get used to it.

It does take an investment of time at beginning but you get out what you put in,I love that you can see your results online and that you can discuss this with your doctor via email which eliminates need for an appointment.

I recently took part in a 3 week study other effect exercise has on continuous blood glucose monitors, it was great to see how my bg was performing as it happened, you could view results over a period of 3 hours to 24.

Once the study was over I met with my doctor to fine tune my pump even more I would thoroughly recommend a pump to anyone if you get the chance to get one takeit.

Definetly the pump is great! as @stephenmcd says, I find great the technological part, it saves lots of time and you can have a better perspective of what is going on with your insuline
