  I use a tandem pump with basal iq and it talks with my dexcom g6 to adjust my basal as needed. It shuts my insulin off when my blood sugar goes low and asks me to treat a high both have an alert to make me aware of changes in my blood sugar.

  Am on DIY Loop - Omnipod. I see no reason to switch unless the pump I am using is no longer supported by Loop

  If/when my pump stops working, I will switch to my backup. I am a DIY looper, using a compatible, older-model pump. Luckily, this means my insurance company can’t control my options. Insurance companies should not be the ones making this choice for T1D patients.

  1. Insurance, 2. doctors' suggestions which probably all reflect the pumps abilities.

  I would get a new pump when my Diabetes Support Team decide that I would benefit from an 'upgrade'. (I live in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and ALL of my diabetes supplies are paid for via our NHS (National Health Service), which is financed via direct taxation of all working people.)

  When the technology advances sufficiently to justify the expense and effort of making a change (probably 3-4 years).

  I replaced my Tandem t:slim X2 pump with an identical pump when its warranty expired a couple of months ago. It was the first time in decades that I haven't upgraded to a newer model at replacement time. I do appreciate the fact that Tandem lets me use updated software as soon as it's available rather than having to wait for an entirely new pump. I now have a fresh warranty and a back-up pump for emergencies.

  I can only get a new pump when allowed by Medicare, even though my primary insurance will cover a new pump every year. Medicare's 1 year "rental" of a pump with a 4 year warranty just adds another layer of unnecessary stress.

  Well, my first new pump was at the end of warranty, when I "upgraded" from my old pager-style Paradigm to a Medtronic 670G. I hated the 670 so much that after about 6 months I went back to my simpler and much more reliable Paradigm, which I still had, and put the 670 back in its box, where it remains. The experience put me off the whole AID thing, to the extent that, even though I'm about two years past being eligible for a new pump, I'm really not that keen on any of the ones currently available. Yeah, I could run them on manual, but my Paradigm already does that. I have a Dexcom G6, and between the two my A1C is currently 5.8. Much better than the "automated insulin delivery" systems seem capable of delivery even now.

  We don't really have much choice. I probably I couldn't afford to be a diabetic without medicare, so I'm beholden to their rules and regulations. I try not to think about it all the time, but really do not like feeling trapped in a system without much input. Thinking about that makes my blood sugar rise! What's wrong with this picture?

  For years, I just upgraded my Medtronic when insurance allowed. A few months ago, just after the transmitter 1-year warranty expired, I realized how frustrated I'd been with all of the "improvements" on Medtronic's sensors. Switched to Dexcom and because I _love_ what Auto mode had done, got help from my parents in paying the "rental" for a Tandem. So far so good!

  As soon as Medicare tells the supplier to ship my new pump. Waiting patiently for the call.

  Even if a better pump comes out I have to wait out my warranty. Made it frustrating when I was stuck on a pump that wasn’t serving my needs.

  My blue cross blue shield federal employee program has finally approved coverage for Omnipod 5 after months of phone calls, letters to my state senators (federal), and haggling. Great! Now that I got the Omnipod 5 I'm still waiting for an appointment with my CDE to be trained on it. I have been pumping for years but I'm not comfortable setting up this AID system by myself. If my next appointment scheduled for 12/08/2022 gets cancelled again, I will run out of the classic Omnipods and will have no choice but to figure it out on my own.

  You're right, 5 years it is, despite only having a four year warrantee.
