    Gary-

    I think going on the pump was the best decision I ever made. I wasn’t able to
    choose which pump, as my insurance only offered MiniMed. There may be some
    advantages to Disetronic (like being able to program smaller doses more
    frequently), but I can’t say that there is anything about my pump that I DON’T
    like. If you are willing to really apply yourself and do a lot of testing for a
    while, it will allow you freedom you haven’t dreamed about since becoming
    diabetic! I wish you the best of luck with whichever brand you choose…

    Yes, you’re right! At the time he was giving me the sales pitch I don’t think I
    had much of a grasp of what he was talking about, but you are absolutely
    correct. Unfortunately, neither company can provide me with sufficient memory :-)
