  I use a pump, Tandem X2, have used many other pumps, they keep getting better, Tandem best yet, The first one I used was I think for cancer treatment, next one came England used a syringe loaded with insulin to deliver you turned a nob so many clicks for per unit of insulin to deliver bolus, it was a start, I still have it.

  Omnipod 5 have been a game changer for me. I’ve never spent so little time each day managing my blood sugars with so much better results.

  I use a pump. It works well most of the time, but it's not perfect.

  I chose "4". I love the pump / CGM method of management, but continue to be frustrated with insulin pumps inability to control extremely fast changing BGs (I can change +/- 100 points in less than 30 minutes). Basal doesn't shut off soon enough as it drops slowly either.

  I have the Medtronic 770G and the alarms are so annoying. "Recalibrate", "Check BG", and others drive me nuts. When my BG is going down or up, I'm ok with the alarms. But overall, frustrating.

  RegMunro: I haven't experienced your issue but I have found when priming the plastic pens if I push real hard I can get another drop out of the needle so I use a Novopen Echo and 3ml cartridge refills (penfills). There's also the InPen from medtronic

  Yikes!! I’m just switching to Omnipod. Seems you have to try the system before they let you know the costs. Trial and error.

  So sorry to hear !! Did mdi 1 month before starting pump. I’d have to relearn that. Fearful for future, to be sure.

  I’m on Medtronic 670g, but had little success with their cgm. Medicare covers Dexcom only so found they have more accuracy, who knew? I no longer need current pump’s bells and whistles. Just approved to switch to Omnipod. We’ll see how I do with learning curb. Overall, minimed pumps are good. Kept me alive. Looking forward to no tubing and all the disconnecting.

  Have been back on MDI for 9 months. Previously was using OmniPod pump and Dex 6 CGM. Both of these technological devices are fantastic. I brought my "Out of Control" condition to A1c levels of 7 to 8% and was feeling so much better about my condition in general and striving to keep it well controlled. Due to provincial government intervention I was pulled off the OmniPod and Dexcom programs for no real medical reason except the cost to provide these services. Older, long - term Type 1 Diabetics are a burden to society as well proven by Canadian Provincial politics.

  Recently I have noticed that my Lily Quikpen delivers less than a full unit of Humalog insulin on the first unit, even when I prime it. I’ve been treating the first as about half a unit and that works for me now. Has anyone else experienced this?

  I would be most satisfied with insulin delivery if it was my own body working properly 😛

  (imagine dosing 0.3 unit to get to an even 100? I do that frequently, by the equation my a1C dropped from 7.2, now looking at lower 5's)

  Hi Toddrich- if possible maybe try the Omnipod. For me it was life changing. With the tube I felt like I was 95 at 35. Bogged by a weird tube that caught on things and a big lumpy controller in my pocket or hanging on belt or stuffed in an inside tshirt pocket that could fall off etc. Maybe others had a better experience but I hated a tube pump. the tube was stifling. The minute I changed to tubeless Omnipod, I felt free.

  Medtronic dropped the ball and took their eyes off the goal with the 670g. I’ve spoken with multiple people at Medtronic and expressed my thoughts. I’ve been using Minimed/Medtronic since 1997 and loved each pump until this one. I really hope the changes they are promising with the 770 and 780 will come to fruition.

  I really like my t-slim and dexcom, but there is always room for improvement, so I gave a "4". I really think smart insulins would be a great invention but that isn't really a problem with delivery method, but of insulin itself.

  I am totally satisfied with my insulin delivery method, which is just using the pens for MDI. Rated it a 5 as I have no desire to change it to a pump since this works really well for me.

  I chose 4. There is always room for improvement. I use Tandem control-IQ and Dexcom and am happy enough compared to five years ago. I wish it were easier to measure changes in insulin sensitivity while still making good boluses. I am very sensitive and seem to keep increasing. Making sure there is absolutely no air in the insulin is also quite a talent. When I look at clinical trials, I have great hope for the future.

  I’m pretty satisfied with Dexcom 6 and MDI and test strips. I doubt I could afford additional cost of pump or pod.

  But how many T1D's would have died without the invention of insulin? It would have taken several decades for alternatives to be developed, tested and approved. I agree the Insulin companies that charge ~$300 list for a vial of insulin and pump manufacturers that charge ~$5,000 each should be prosecuted for profiteering. I for one am glad I have lived for 35 with insulin.

  Thank you, Amanda. I have considered switching over but again I'm holding out for the 780G and the Gen 4 sensor. If this doesn't provide improvement, then I'll be switching. I keep hearing the 780G is just around the corner. But, I have been hearing that now for 2 years... Think used car salesman.

  Remember the FDA has to approve, and you will not change their approach. They can't look foolish/or too many Law Suites. They will not let the Human out of the equation. Maybe some of us don't like a computer (Pump) to control our Destiney!

  I/we have to be satisfied because too much money is being made with the Equipment stated. The only hope is Stem Cells! \
