Priorities

Comfort

  • Longest lasting sensor
  • Sensor needs to be changed by your doctor
  • Largest pump
  • Tubed pumps have the most infusion sets to pick from

  • Sensor changes far less often than other types, but your doctor must do it
  • Supplies for this pump are the most widely available
  • Easy Insulin Dosing

  • More customizable dosing than pens or syringes
  • Fewer Fingersticks

  • Daily fingersticks needed to calibrate sensor

    Hear what others who use this device combo have to say

    I can take the sensor and pump off when I play soccer - its fine for me to go an hour without insulin.

    The combo is pretty private.

    Eversense is my first choice that was reliable and comfortable. I have tightened my nightly control quite a bit because of it. The Medtronic pump is reliable and I'm looking forward to better integration between the two systems.

    Questions for your Doctor

    Can I try this before I commit to it?

    A lot of provider offices have sample devices you can touch and feel to get a sense of how they work. Some offices even have a trial device you can use for week to see how it works for you.
