After more than 8 years I'm still in love with mine too!
 
Happy with my new Medtronic 640 ! 😎 Nothing s perfect but some good features & lots of buttons to push to suit yourself 😉
 
I've only had mine 3 months but I love mine too!
 
Medtrronic are very good. 😎 I know the full team now. Down load stuff on inter twit & info there 🙂

It is so so adaptable. Reduced bolus when super active not like the injection you had x hours ago. Nothing perfect but having T1 is hard work at times 😎 The staff at Medtronic are ex.

Nice people at Medtronic 🙂
 
I've got to choose (out of 4) which one I'm having in a couple of weeks. On what I've read so far I'm currently thinking either the 640G or the Animas Vibe.

Good luck Matt. I know you will like which ever ! 🙂
 
I suspect that you will enjoy using whichever one you choose.
Let us know how you get on.

640G, Animas Vibe, Cellnovo (it appears to be a bit like the Omnipod) and the Accuchek(s) - think it's the Insight and Combo - so it's actually a choice of 5 in total. The DSN told me this on the phone and I had to scribble it down quickly! What do you think of the 640? This will be my first pump so I haven't got any sort of comparison.

My first pump was the AccuChek combo....I liked the fact that it was basically all controlled by the BG meter...however I just didn't really get on with it, so stopped using the pump for about a month until I saw a new and better consultant and she got me the 640G....I do like it and it is a bit more advanced....I think? But I am having problems with my cannula's at the moment, but I think that is down to me! I haven't heard of the Cellnovo...I'd love an Omnipod though!

The Cellnovo is a patch pump like the Omnipod (website below). I do like the idea of it and the Cellnovo has some nice features but I'd need to see it close up . I haven't made a decision so will keep reading and then see what they're all like at first hand, ask questions and see what the reps have to say on the day.
