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 :-) Yes, you’re right! At the time he was giving me the sales pitch I don’t think I

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... Janet Greetings, I'm shopping for a pump. <!--more--> Would anyone that: 1. Has good/bad things to say about either brand and/or 2. Has tried BOTH please email me with your thoughts/observations Thanks, Gary Gary-
