Juvenile Diabetes

Kaylee's been pumping since 7/06.. she currently is using a PINK minimed 522, she also uses the minilink cgms. Her warrently is up in 2010, most likely we'll go with Minimed again... they've been a great company, suppose to be coming out with a new pump with smaller basal rates and bolus capabilities.. If MM's new pump isn't released by 6/10, I may seriously consider the Ping.. there are a few things I'm not to fond of with the ping though.

We don't have a pump yet.  We go to the class in Dec (after 6 month waiting list), so I am interested in what are people's opinions as we know nothing.  I assume that insurance doesn't drive the choice of pump, just that they cover it to whatever extent.

That is good to know.  I called the insurance when I was getting ready to do my flex spending thing for this year and they just said they paid 80%.  I hope that the people at clinic will be able to guide us a little bit, if there are certain ones that are covered more fully than others.  I am anxious to find out about the various pumps and the pro's and  con's for them all.  Thanks for sharing your info.
