questions to ask a pump rep and how to make choices

I need help about questions to ask about pumps and making choices. My doctor keeps recommending that i go on a pump, but wants me to search out the info due to large caseload. The loaner pumps they use are used and old to teach us so that one was not a big help. I am a T2 being treated like a T1 - no insulin production and complications with pancreas and some other things. i AM 55, female, live in Florida and have no insurance. I am on a low carb menu due to age and complications, my basal rates are steady and set,my correction dose is 1u per 15and i try to let it ride until bs hits 250 as i corrected too much and had lows around mid 40s. Try to keep all as levelas i can, but highs sometimes late evening and 2am. Don't mind getting up for the shots or to check bs, but dr feels the pump is best. What questions do i ask and what type of pump is the easiest to use and less costly for supplies
