Members shared which insulin pumps they currently use in response to someone's question about pump options, with the most popular choices being the Omnipod 5, Tandem T:slim X2, and Medtronic 780G. Several long-time pump users with decades of experience described their journeys through multiple pump models over the years, with many expressing that the Omnipod 5 paired with Dexcom CGM is their favorite for its convenience, though one member found it too painful and switched to the T:slim X2. A recurring theme was the wish for better-trained medical staff who truly understand pumping, and the general advice that an endocrinologist should help guide the decision based on individual needs.

I'm at 43 years pumping (started on an AutoSyringe AS*6). Definitely wish medical staff better trained than we are.

I have used several different pumps over the years including several models of Medtronic, Animas and 2 versions of Omnipod. The Omnipod 5 with dexcom cgm is my favorite. 30 years as a type 1 diabetic.
