I didn't like the minimed cgms. it was never correct to my actual blood sugar. I like the dexcom, currently my favorite cgms. It is very accurate, only 2 hour calibration, lasts for a week, it is also more comfortable and I never feel the needle going in me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602938156779787139.post-10525369499752590482010-03-17T21:20:37.706-05:002010-03-17T21:20:37.706-05:00My MM warranty is almost up, too, and I'm cons...My MM warranty is almost up, too, and I'm considering going with Animas.

Alli...Lynnea, I agree. A test drive would be great!<br />Allison, I think CGMS is where most of my curiosity lies. But sometimes I wonder about other pumps too. <br />Vivian, that kind of makes it easier, doesn't it? That Daniel likes his so much that he doesn't want to part w/ it. Therefore you don't have to worry about it? <br />Hannah, I was so sad when they stopped making the Cozmo.

Most pump companies will let you demo them (I know it's only for a week... but at least you could get an idea of how the other ones work). It's worth a a shot if you are really curious. =)Katie from SFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238839473468777619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602938156779787139.post-58717358473841084062010-03-16T10:34:29.907-05:002010-03-16T10:34:29.907-05:00Are you kidding?

I was completely overwhelmed, and this was just cookies!!!! The slightest though of keeping Minimed or switching to a new pump is so stressful to me.

It's such a huge thing to have to purchase and then get "stuck" with if it doesn't work out.
