[Diabetes-talk] Pump question

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Even though I think I've chosen a new pump, I plan to use my Cosmo as
long as possible, grin.

Bridgit, I spoke with James at a conference here in March. Medtronic has
expressed no interest any more in supporting this remote. He's heard
nothing. I absolutely would not choose a pump based on this hope. Not
right now anyway. I think, and this is just my thought, that part of the
problem is right about the same time as this remote was announced,
someone else showed how he could hack into a Medtronic pump and did this
at a major convention. So now this brings up safety, security, etc. I
don't think Medtronic is very happy at all. And this doesn't tend to be
a company that likes to work with third party venders. It's a real
shame, of course. I still haven't made my decision about my next pump.
I'm putting the pro in procrastination right now. <grin> But one of
these days, I'll have to face up to it. I'll keep all of you posted and
I look forward to hearing what the rest of you do as well. Thanks.
Veronica

I was down between a MedTronic and Animas Ping for possible new pumps
and preferred the Animas, but in light of the fact that someone is
working on the remote for MedTronic pumps, does anyone think it worth
getting the MedTronic instead? I gather the remote device is still a
ways off from being available on the market, but it seems like the only
active solution currently out there. Advice?
