| | | New Minimed Pump with BG Sensor
I've heard rumers that Minimed is poised to introduce their new paradigm pump with "integrated" BG sensor. Does anyone know when this is set to happen? I'm getting ready to switch insurance companies, which means I must get a new pump (my old insurance company rents my current pump). I need to know when to make this transition so as to maximize my gains.

| | | most likely that pump you are referring to will not be out til next year. I could be wrong but the x15 series pumps have been out less than a year...
I want the next MM pump as well... the BG sensor is an awesome touch.

| | | MM is known for their very generous upgrade programs. If you are interested in a future pump from them, I would enquire if the upgrade path would exist for you if you were to get a current pump they have on the market.

| | | So far MiniMed has been less than helpful to me when I asked for an upgrade from my 508. They tell me I don't qualify because I turned down the upgrade a year after I got my pump. My warranty is up December 2005.

Nancy | You could tell them that Deltec will offer you $$$ to "upgrade" to a Cozmore...  |

The only differences (beside the fact that the later model comes with the meter), are the revision number (of pump and software), and some added features with the later model (aka the 1700). Initially, I had the older model, and the rep. took me to breakfast. While we snacked, he upgraded the software via the IR (infra red) port.  Very cool, indeed.
I'm not certain when the next generation of Minimed's pumps will be out (with the handy glucose sensor), but I sure hope the projected release date is far better than that of their "Implantable pump" (here in the US, anyhow).

If you're switching your insurance company = new pump, you might consider the Deltec CozMo option. Their product has the "integrated"* BG sensor. (* technically, it is an add-on device, that will clip-into the pump, and be able to relay BG readings to the pump, via IR interface. Still requires a finger prick, and a test strip). Appearantly available in the US now; available in Canada ~ Oct. '05.
Cheers,

| | | The new model 522 or 722 should be out in a year. It will have a BG sensor, but will not automticly give you insulin, only BG readings. |
