I wasn't suggesting that the pump companies are making too much money. I was was just questioning the business model. The pump companies could make more money if they only covered their costs on the pump but hooked their customers into buying proprietary supplies for the life of the pump. BG monitor companies do it with metres & test strips. Novo and Lily do it with their pens & insulin. The financial dynamics of doing the same thing with pumps and supplies is even more compelling.
