I agree with everything you said but that. The reason because of that is because MM has the largest market share. How many people have come on here talking about their doctor wanting to prescribe them a MM pump. You rarely see someone say my doctor suggested I should get a Cozmo or Animas. Heck, I learned in my Insulin pumpers group that my Endo has never prescribed anything but a Minimed for a first time pumper. She only has a handful of patients that use something else and she barely knows anything about them. When I have appointments with her I have to teach her what my pump can do and what changes I can and can't make. And my Endo is one of the top ones in Cincinnati.
