Seeing as quite a few people are going on pumps , i thought it might help to share what pumps fellow pumpers on (if happy to do so ) Maybe could copy and paste on to list 🙂
Thanks Adrienne! Had a quick look but the UK Medtronic site seemed to add and drop 'Veo' pretty randomly (though thinking about it I was aware the FDA had not allowed some Med pumps because of the 'Insulin Suspend' feature).

Yep they don't have the VEO at all in the USA. The latest one they have is the Revel which is the x23 series. The FDA won't approve the low suspend feature which is ridiulous but Medtronic and JDRF and plenty others are fighting for it. 🙂
At the moment many of us use baby monitors to hear the sensor alarms overnight as they are too quiet which is great for a young child but not for older children. No idea why Jessica lets me use one still and she is nearly 12. The My Sentry is not a monitor that you hear the child, you hear the alarms though. Whatever the sensor transmits to the pump it transmits to the My Sentry as well so we see what is on the pump screen and can hear all the alarms.
We first saw this at a conference in 2009 and have been waiting ever since. I even met with the MD of Europe for Medtronic last year about it. THey have no plans to launch it in Europe at the moment. However we won't let this go and are going to try and get it over here. We can't buy the ones from the USA as they are only compatible with the Revel and not the UK VEO Arghhhhhh
