You have the pump, which is the initial $6000.

The for the montly supplies you have infusion sets that can range about $10-$15 a set and must be changed every 3 days.

Then you also have the insulin cartridges which are $3-$5 and hold 200-300 units of insulin (dependent on the pump you get) and those well, last however long you need it too. For me, I have the 200 units (well, 186 units) cartridge in my Animas 1200 and I use 60 units a day of insulin about. Therefore, I one cartridge lasts me 3 days, which is an infusion set change, and then on a change if I haven't reused the cartridge once, I simply just reuse it. So one cartridge for me lasts 6 days. Some on here use a cartridge once and get 10 days out of it, so if they reused it, they could get 20 days, which would save 50% of the costs on those.

Those are the two main items then you have extra supplies like alcohol wipes and IV prep tape (if you have skin that infusion sets don't stick to) and batteries. It's really hard to predict the cost of those supplies. I hope this helps some.
