If you use an insulin pump, how many years have you been using the insulin pump you’re currently using on?

I’ve been using the Tandem t:slim X2 for a little less than 9 months, after being on various Medtronic pumps for 18 years.
Any difference between the two types of pump?
My insurance will finally upgrade me next year and I’ll finally get a looped system.
me too!
Still using Omnipod but just transitioned to the Dash pump.
Me too. I used original Omnipod PDM for years (although same model but was replaced every 4 years with insurance). Will upgrade to Omnipod 5 when it works with Freestyle Libre 3.
Considering switching to the MOBI as I had better control with the Tslim X2. I do love being tubeless but the MOBI only has a pigtail of tubing
Not awake this morning! I think I selected the wrong answer….. I have been on my pump 2 years when it got a crack in the battery case. Was replaced with new pump just a couple of months ago.
Seems like forever! My Tandem G6 is so much a part of me, I rarely give it much thought unless it needs to be refilled. Not too shabby for a fake pancreas! Somehow, it even manages to cope with big days like Thanksgiving. Such a far cry from filling a glass syringe, and using miles of test tape. Happy Thanksgiving!
My son’s Tslim pump warranty was up in May, so he’s been on it 4.5 years. On December First, we begin his journey on the ILet.
I started with a Cosmo, still remember it as a great pump!😃
I’ve been using Medtronic/MiniMed pumps since 1999, but have been using my current iteration, Medtronic 780G, for a little over 18 months now.
I started with an Autosyringe Pump until they dropped out of the market, then I tried a minimed pump, I had two fail, then the Swiss, Disetronic pump until they left the US market. ANIMAS until Johnson and Johnson failed to innovate/invest and shut them down. Currently I am on my second Tandem T-Slim:X2 using ControlIQ and soon Dexcom G7 CGM sensors.
Eight years with Tandem. Started pumping in February 1997. I’ve not willingly gone without one since. Huge adjust when I began using one, after going from twice a day injections and then MDI to having something attached to me 24/7. Wouldn’t trade for anything, except a working pancreas.
I’ve used a pump since 2000. I started with Medtronic but later switched to Tandem which is much better than Medtronic.
Weird. New pump this year but have been on t skin for 6+ years.
Started with Disetronic in 98 on a friends suggestion. Went to Animas after that for several iterations of no problems. Went on Tandem when Animas was shut down. Every year I get the “Sales Push” from MM/M and every year I would lose a few friends (24 last count) to those that believed Sales People. X2 with G6 IS the Cure promised me almost 60 years ago.
I just started my Tandem X2 in… June, I think… not sure of the precise month, but definitely this year!
6 months research study, 6 months post purchase. Receiving best A1C & 85+% TIR
I started using the Tandem TSlim in Jan. 2017. I reordered the same pump, and am currently using the same model or whatever becomes available in 2024-25.
New T-slimx2 I just recently gotten about a month ago, but it is my second tslimx2. I had that one from 2019-2023
I’ve been on the Tslimx2 pump since
June 2018, recently saw my endocrinologist and asked him what pump does he recommend when I can order my next pump in June. He said to stay with the Tandem Tslim pump and I’ll be starting on the control IQ when I get that new pump.
I have been wearing several incarnations of a Tslim pump for over 10 years … since 2009 to be exact. Was on Medtronic prior to that for about 7 years.
