Insulin Pump Meters selection which one is right for me?
Eric asked:
I have been a type 1 diabetic for 33 years and remember the good old days as a child playing chemist matching a color coated urine strip to a chart on the bathroom wall. I have mulled over the idea of the pump for some time. My A1C is in the low 7 range and want one to primarily improve this number and avoid low blood sugar while sleeping. I have read other results regarding the Medtronic products but given I also have a pacer for my heart, I have been very prone to staying as far away from this company due to all of the pacemaker issues. Have there been major problems as well with their pumps? I also have not had much success with the Freestyle glucose meters as well. I have been given many false readings from their equipment and rode my car over it in retribution to customer services stupidity. Which almost rules our the Omni-Pod and Cozmore. I have been reading all of the marketing materials given to me by my Endocrinologist but am still looking for advise. Thanks very much
