Hey Everyone, Just thought I might start a conversation piece here, and ask everyone here what pump you use, and your thoughts on it. I will go first (lol only makes sense) 1) What pump brand and model do you use currently? 2) What others have you tried? 3) If you answered #2, which do you like best and why? 4)What infusion set(s) do you use? 5)What are your thoughts on the above mentioned infusion set(s)? 6) Any info I might have forgot to ask or anything else important. | |

1) What pump brand and model do you use currently? I use a MM Revel currently and all my others I have used are listed below in my signature. 2) What others have you tried? Please see my signature below. 3) If you answered #2, which do you like best and why? Well I have only used my revel for like 10 hours thus far, so my vote goes to my MM 512. I thought it was annoying at first (it was my first ever) until I got my 2020. That thing alarms for EVERYTHING, and it does it repetedly. I know I have less than 10U left in my reservoir. I will refill it when I have a spare sec......5min later *beep beep beep* GRRRRRRRR!!!
4)What infusion set(s) do you use? I was on Inset by UnoMedical (9mm cannula with 23 & 42" tubing) and swithced to Quicksets (UnoMedical) when im on my MM pumps. I like both equally. I will say Ive had some issues with getting the introducer needle to detatch from the set after insertion on the Insets. I go to pull it out and the whole set comes back out, That messes up the cannula (usually) so thats $10 wasted. Dont get me wrong, I love insets a lot, and always have a few around, but just an observation..... 5)What are your thoughts on the above mentioned infusion set(s)? See above 6) Any info I might have forgot to ask or anything else important. Nothing I can think of. My cat and dog are playing together. They must be planning to overthrow the world government and declare themselves supreme leaders of the galaxy!!!! Wait wut?!?!?!?!?!
