If your computer does not have an inbuilt infrared then you will require an infrared adaptor to download information from your pump.

Customer Testimonials
A whopping 99% of Deltec Cozmo Users would recommend Cozmo pumps to a friend family member. Here are the testimonials of some satisfied pumpers.
"Since starting with the pump to control my diabetes things have improved in many ways. I always recommend the "Cozmo" to other type 1 diabetics. The control I have achieved during the nine months of pregnancy was excellent, (HBAIC) 5 ½ for the entire time." - Sophie Benassi, Narrabundah, ACT
"Since I have been on the pump, my insulin ussage has decreased by about 20-25%; Hypoglycaemic occurances when sleeping have been reduced dramatically (zero in the last 12 months compared to very frequently when on injections) and even more significantly my customised basal delivery has given me greater freedom with diets comprising of more complex carbohydrates. My HbAic has been excellent - 5.1." - Tom Bege, Healsville, VIC.
"I want to pass on my sincere thanks and gratitude for the wonderful service provided by all those involved with the insulin pump support. In the time I have had my Deltec pump, every small issue has been dealt with. The service and support from your team has been professional and swift, and every commitment made has been kept on time and to promise. Your support during times of difficulty or potential crises makes a highly stressful situation far easier to deal with.

Your division is to be commended, and your service commended. I give you all my sincere thanks." - Tracey Woods - Asthon, SA

A broken toe didn't stop Medical Specialties South Australian Territory Manager, Alex Conte from riding 160Km's in the "Ride to Cure Diabetes" fundraising ride through the Barossa Valley for juvenile diabetes research. Alex broke her toe after stubbing it on an ironing board three weeks prior to her race. She wore a plaster on her foot to help reduce the pain. The toe still caused her extreme discomfort, but she was prepared to push through the pain barrier.
"I had started training before the accident and I had some rides on it before the race and after the break and it hurt like hell" she said

The amazing mother of two is no stranger to adversity, living with type 1 diabetes for almost half her life. "I wear a Cozmo Insulin Pump which feeds me insulin all the time" she said
"I had to have seven needles a day before switching to the pump four years ago. The pump gives you a lot more freedom and takes the guesswork out, as it gives you reminders to test your glucose"

The annual fundraising rides though the Barossa Valley attracts about 150 cyclists.

Alex rode with five friends, including two with Type 1 Diabetes as Team Cozmo! This was the third time Alex has completed the race.

"I'm hoping I get a massage at the end of the next ride" she said
"The last time I finished the ride, the masseur said her arms were too tired….how do you think my legs felt?"

 

"Having my Cozmo pump has changed my life"

South Australian Danielle King (8 years old), her teddy bear, Pumpernickel and her Mum, Leanne all have Type 1 Diabetes. Leanne went on a pump in March 2007. She found the results so amazing, that after 4 short months she decided the time was right for Danielle to go on a pump as well.

Danielle has now been on a pump for 12 months and in that time she has already noticed a remarkable change for the better in her health. In no time at all, Danielle has just about mastered controlling her pump, and more importantly, controlling her diabetes. After just 12 months, Danielle decided to send us a letter telling us about her life now that she is on a Deltec Cozmo insulin pump:

Dear Cozmo,
Having an insulin pump is so great! It gives you blood sugars that are perfect and you can EASILY give yourself insulin. The cannulas don't hurt as much as the needles, it's soooooo cool!
Having my Cozmo pump has changed my life, I am allowed to eat what I want, and when I want, and I reckon that is the best thing about it. My friends, Jacquie and Stephanie love setting up my blood sugar monitor and pressing the buttons on my pump. I feel like I have NOTHING to do.
Having a pump can sometimes be annoying, but if you look on the bright side, it's great! When I have P.E. at school I change my temporary rate to sport, so I don't go low. I have now got the responsibility for my temporary rates because my mum always used to do them. My mum puts my cannula in, and she is teaching me how to change the tubing, battery and insulin. My mum also has diabetes, and she has type 1 like me. She first got a Cozmo pump to try it out. When it worked for her, I got one.
I don't like having diabetes, except the part where you go low and get jellybeans! My mum, my old school teacher (who has a son who has diabetes) and I always do fund raisers for diabetes. I hope they find a cure.
At my school there are 4 people that have diabetes, and one of them is getting a pump, so there will be 2 pumps in the school soon!
When I am high I correct, and then half an hour later I check again, and if I am still high, I give myself another unit. At the age of 8, it is a tiny bit hard, but it's getting easier every day.

We need to find a cure!!!!!!!!!!
From Danielle King
.

Danielle is right, we really do need to find a cure… but until then, thank goodness for Cozmo.
