TSlim vs Medtronic vs other for upgrade

The Insight pump is between the size of a Combo and a Tslim. The Medtronic 780 is near enough the same size as the Combo, so if a person is only used to the size of an Insight, they might easily find the 780 cumbersome.

Just IMHO, obviously.
 
I use this small Anker charger to charge my T:Slim. It's tiny but mighty.


I have one of these in my bag and one in my backpack. One battery would keep my pump going for weeks. It would probably charge a phone once, so we have a rule that the battery cannot be used for anything other than my pump. We carry other external batteries for phones.

We have other larger external batteries around the house that I use for charging up my pump at home, usually when I'm working, eating or sitting on the sofa.

I don't usually let my pump go below 50% battery. A half charge takes less than half an hour and I only need to do it twice a week.
