I didn't think I would love the pump but I do and I really think it's because it's the Ping. The meter remote is really convenient and the supplies that go with it are great (compact, easy to use and the infusion set is very comfy).<br /><br />As far as the CGM, I'm not in love with mine but I've not heard great reviews about them from anyone. I've heard the worst reviews regarding the Minimed CGM which is why I got the Dexcom. It's better but still has all the cons that they all do (inaccurate, cumbersome, umcomfortable). <br /><br />I agree with Annie. I wouldn't let the CGM be the thing that makes your decision for you. Make sure you pick the PUMP that works best for you. Especially since you are putting that much of your own money in it. (OUCH!) And don't be afraid to ask to trial it! I'm sure your Endo or local rep wouldn't mind!<br /><br />Wishing you luck on the baby front!Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691790495158501781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807500078798894808.post-67232029743621535512010-10-19T11:51:13.475-04:002010-10-19T11:51:13.475-04:00I got the ping recently and like it a lot.

I had a Medtronic years ago, and while I had no complaints, I love Animas. <br /><br />If you don't like the sensors, don't feel that you have to use them. You may have read that I tried them and got completely fed up in about two weeks. My endo was 100% fine with me not using it since he doesn't think they're all that helpful yet andmy A1Cs are fine without it.<br /><br />Baby dust to you and SIL!! Sending lots of prayers both your ways!Anniehttp://sweetchild-of-mine.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
