He said nothing is changing with the CGMS functionality and he couldn't recall anything else being added to it. So basically since the 515 they have not had any useful pump changes, that's my opinion. Quote:

Cozmo would irritate you, though, as you need the bolus calculator on to see IOB, and when the bolus calculator is on, it's hard to do a manual bolus (I just enter everything in as 0 and override the recommendation if I want a manual bolus with Cozmo). | The size/shape is what really bothers me. I like the size/shape of my Animas, but want slower boluses.
I just can't figure out why pump companies don't listen as much to the users of the pumps. I feel like I'm preaching useless info here as every company does it (why does a minivan need 16 cup holders but only seats 7 or a car have 2 but seats 5?) LOL
