Exactly. I am terribly grateful that there are three big pump companies out there (that I'm aware of here in Canada at least) and frankly the more the merrier. You see, from a simple business point of view having several companies focusing on one specific technology shows a few things. 1 - it demonstrates that there is a market for a product. 2 - it shows that there are several people who are genuinely interested in creating such a product.
In this instance, we, the diabetics are the consumers.
Where each company has a flaw you will see the others jump on that flaw to improve it: Better for consumers.
Where each company has a breakthrough idea/produce, others will attempt it for their own product: Better for consumers.
Each company is financially concerned with their own well being, which will make them try and gain more of the market share by offering the best technology ever with regular improvements: Better for consumers.
I can go on and on, but there is no need in my opinion. The point is made.
I for one love the fact that there are several companies involved in creating the "ultimate pump" as I can only benefit from the variety available. As a result there is no point in pump bashing. There should only be pump embracing.
