Hey I use the Dana Diabecare pump made by Sooil. I guess since I live on the other side of the world (Nairobi, Kenya) we would be on different pumps (we do drive on the left)..its way way cheaper than the Medtronic. Been pumping for like one month and I don't know why I never did it sooner. My friends and I have christened her (she's pink) Dorcas.

I use the Paradigm 715 but I wish the same infusion set that you use to administer insulin could be used to also give you a continous readin on your glucose levels.

Medtronic's current system is helpful but I do not like that you have to stick your body (belly area in my case) as if it was another infusion set. I hope they come up with an easier, non-invasive way to monitor glucose levels.

Hey everyone. I am using the paradigm. I haven't heard of all the fancy ones that you guys are talking about. LOL- I will have to check it out. I do have to say, however, that some diabetics are still on injections and they actually prefer it!! I can not understand that. This little side kick of mine has totaly changed my life. I love it.

What type of pump are you using? and How long have you been pumping?

I am using the OmniPod and I have been using it for a month!!! I like it, I can't wait until they get the CGM...
