No More Cozmo

In case you haven’t heard, Smiths Medical recently decided to leave the insulin pumping business and stop selling the Deltec Cozmo insulin pump. If you’re already a Cozmo customer, this probably won’t affect you immediately—Smiths has agreed to honor all existing warranties and provide customer service until the end of the warranty period. However, sooner or later you’ll need to change pumps. We’re sad to see the Deltec go, but there are plenty of other options available for pump users.

Medtronic has already started a new Medtronic Cares program to help make it easier for you to switch to a Medtronic pump. The program will give you a reduced price on a Paradigm REAL-Time pump with a two-year warranty, as well as 30 days of supplies. Animas and Insulet have just launched similar deals--Animas will lower the price of a OneTouch Ping to $900 and give you up to $700 for trading in your current pump, and Insulet has a special Omnipod starterkit for as little as $50.
