My DH has had a Mimed Paradigm pump for over 2 years. He loves it.
It is quite reliable and the company offers 24/7 support via a toll-free
phone number. If there is a problem that makes it necessary to get a new
pump they overnight it.

It is a good idea to have some injectable insulin or pens available in
care there is a failure but they are rare. They are giving pumps to
teeny babies now.

My DH (T2 for over 20 years)used Lantus pens for a while before getting
his pump and he feels that the control is so much better with the pump
as there is always some insulin in his body. No more morning highs and
he can bolus for what he eats allowing him a little more freedom in food
choices than he ever had with injections and oral meds. He has A1Cs
consistently in the mid 5's, something he was never able to achieve with
injections or oral meds no matter how careful he was.

If you ask him, he will tell you that he'd never give up the pump and go
back to injections.
