What do you do with pumps when the warranty ends?

[Laura]

Our warranty just ended and we are getting a new pump in 2 weeks. I was wondering what you guys do with your pumps in this case. Do you just hold on to it in case of emergency or to have a back up?

That's a good idea, I guess...I'd ask the pump company. We just got ours so we're about 4 years from that decision!

Keep it and some supplies as a backup.

Keep it as a back up and some supplies (and the manual). I've had my pump quit and although they overnighted me another one, I had to go the night without it. I was waking every 2 hours to check and give insulin since there was no long acting insulin on board and I didn't want any since I'd be getting another pump the next day. Now I have my back-up pump and it has saved me twice so far.

oh, remember to write down all setting too.
