| Do you already use a Minimed 72* series Insulin Pump? If not, I don't think the CGMS works by itself... it talks to the pump and uses that as its display. ***It does not tell the pump how much insulin to give... you still control that.
Prices (if I recall correctly) are around $6,000 for the pump, and around $600 for the CGMS remote... but that is just the hardware... after that the CGMS disposable sensors are around $50 each (wear for three days then throw away) and pump supplies (reservoir and infusion sets) run to about $200 a month before insulin.
Bear in mind that even Minimed themselves recommend you back up the CGMS readings with your regular finger sticks... especially before making any insulin corrections as a result of a reading. But the graph showing trends, up or down is magic!
I hope I am not bursting your bubble as these really are excellent tools.
