I've been trying to find some redeeming features to the Accu-chek pump and I'm just not seeing them. Forget the whole timer issue, I don't understand why someone would choose this pump, regardless of the timer, over other pumps.

Sorry, but I think companies need to put people first, rather than worrying about being offended when a customer comments on (or complains about) a design flaw, and about whether they're going to make a buck off a potential sale! To me, a timer IS a flaw & should be fixed or changed. After four years, regardless of whether a person's with Disetronic/Accu-chek or whomever, they have the option & the right to go to ANY pump company they want, providing insurance is willing to pay (or they have the money to purchase out of pocket). So why bother to put a timer in the pump!? (Don't answer that: It's a rhetorical question. )
Exactly, and if my pump just died for no reason other than programmed death, I would RUN to another company. And people may not have insurance- rather than force them back on MDI, I would think they could still make money off reservoirs and such. But I can't see anyone buying this pump the way it's set up.
