I just went through this process. I asked the MiniMed rep about a "511" and she
had not heard of it (although sometimes the sales people are the last to know).

I also asked how long I should expect my 508 to last. It is guaranteed for four
years, but should last twice that??? I asked how often my insurance company will
cover a pump. Much to my surprise, they will cover a new pump once per year. So
far, I love the 508. It is so easy to use. No need for me to wait for the next
best thing.

Hi!
depends on what you’re looking for….I’m biased toward the Disetronic….I
see the new D-tron is available in the US now….best way to see which pump
you prefer (if there are no limitations on/with your insurance company) is to
contact each site. There are 3 now….disetronic-usa minimed animas
check them all out….speak to the co. reps or you can contact Insulin
Infusion
Specialists 1800 838-7867 and have their regional rep show you all of
them…their the largest supplier for all the pumps….Good Luck, Joan :)))
