Honestly Shabbie ANY pump is better than no pump at all. I think you are going to find you love it. I stuck with my old 508 pump for years because it was a good workhorse. It also did not have a bolus wizard, but I didn't know what it was so I didn't miss it. It clicked when it gave a bolus and I loved that feature because I knew it was working. I still have my old 508 as a backup. I don't have the heart to get rid of it.

All in all, I think you are going to find that you get much better control with your pump. Enjoy it and enjoy the lower blood sugar you are going to achieve.

I almost purchased the Spirit as my next pump last week. I am glad I decided not too now after reading this thread. The end of use timer would really annoy the snot out of me. My current pump's warranty ran out in February and I completely forgot about it. I am sure the alert would let me know, but I still have not gotten my new pump so I would have to have been on shots for a while now. I am sticking with my Cozmo.

Are you getting a new Cozmo or just waiting for it to die?

I hope to be getting a new Cozmo, but the Smith's reimbursement rep told me a lot of insurance companies are starting to not wanting to cover the cost of a new pump, even if it is out warranty and the pump is still functioning correctly. I am waiting to here back from the rep, after they submit the paperwork.
