[[NO-TRANS]]¿Que bomba elijo?

I was with my endocrinologist and asked about using the insulin pump since I was staying up late at night and she referred me to the educator to have a refresher on the "best practices" and she showed me the 3 pumps that they usually use in the hospital, the Medtronic, the tandem, and the ypsopump.Although I have chosen the ypsopump because it is the smallest and can be controlled from the mobile phone, just like I do with the libre 2 plus.I have doubts about whether it is the most suitable for me.

I am a person who in winter goes through all the nooks and crannies of where I live, and as soon as the sun rises I like to go to the countryside or the beach. I don't want something that limits me and that is a hindrance at bedtime. What can you tell me about that?

I apologize in advance for disturbing you, if my doubts may be banal for those of you who already use a pump.

I think @SilviaGRZ tea can help.

Good morning,

I am a patient who made the decision after a lifetime of pens and rapid insulins plus Basal insulins, great progress and at the same time great sacrifice, to switch to insulin pump treatment.I was reluctant to use Bomba treatment for many years because I honestly did not consider that it contributed much to feather treatment, but that changed when the algorithms came out and Diabetes control could be made better and more comfortable.

What changed?: First of all, being able to use a single type of insulin, ultra-rapid or rapid insulin, and doing away with basal insulins, which even though it is a great advance, if you are an athlete, hypoglycemia is terrible, which makes you consume a lot of carbohydrates and a terrible weight gain, which also makes it more difficult to control your general health and Diabetes in particular.

Let's go with the pumps: in my case I decided on Ypsopump, after doing an exhaustive study of the three models that you mention.Why in my opinion did Ypsopump win?:

Latest generation Cambridge algorithm that is currently still in the study phase, Small pump, very light in weight and with pre-filled cartridges, You can bathe or shower with it, You control it from your phone, it has infusers that rotate 360*, it allows you to adjust all the parameters if there are changes in your daily activity, it allows you to communicate small intakes to the algorithm so that it controls the rise in blood glucose without having to give extra boluses, I could go on but I think this can help you.give an idea of why I decided on Ypsopump.After three years of use, I am very satisfied with both the Pump and Ypsomed, they are always there to resolve questions or problems.Finally, my times in range are usually between 93-96% and my glycations are below 6 and it goes without saying that I lose all the weight I gain with basals.

I hope I have been able to help you, Cheer up and I am glad that you decided to switch to Bomba, now the decision of the model is yours.

Greetings
