@nreid77 there is a good thread here in case you haven’t seen it. > [@Stick with Omnipod or move to t:slim?](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/stick-with-omnipod-or-move-to-t-slim/5729): > > About a year ago I wrote a post entitled “From Animas to Omnipod - feedback after one month”. That post started with “After having been on the Animas Vibe for 3 years I had to start thinking about what would be next; the Omnipod, the Medtronic 630g (or maybe the t:slim X2 if it gets approved in Canada in 2018).” How time flies! Well the t:slim X2 was recently approved and my Animas warranty just expired, so I am now free to purchase another pump via insurance. What to do…? I absolutely love my… My daughter uses omnipod and it is significantly better than MDI in terms of her average time in range. I think it would be unfair to offer an opinion on t:slim as I have no experience with it. I have looked into changing but can’t find a good reason. the main reason not to change would be that omnipod seems to work well and the tubing. I hope the class goes well - ask plenty of questions 🙂 Ed --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/best-pump-for-6-year-old/8474)._
