| | | Well I have decided on a pump
Well folks, again thanks for all your feedback on the Animas, Cozmo and Minimed pumps. This site has helped me out so much in my deciding what pump to go with.
After all my research I have decided and have ordered the Royal Blue Animas IR1250. It will be at my door step On Tuesday Afternoon between Noon and 5pm ( kinda sounds like the cable company)
To my surprise I have met all deductibles needed already this year, so the pump and all supplies are covered 100% thru the end of the year. Cant beat that.
I tested out both Customer service 800 numbers and also took into account how the Cozmo Rep was 45min late to my meeting with her.
Again thanks for all your input, and I can't wait to start PUMPING !

| | It's like Christmas in July!!! oh no wait, that's August. Unless of course you're Jewish, then Happy Hanukkah. Then again, you could be budhist, Hindu, Islamic......
Well it's like having you birthday in August! well unless, you're a Jehova's Witness, I don't think they celebrate Birthdays, and then some cultures celebrate a name day or a christening more than they do the actual day you were born................
