There has been some discussion of the Deltec Cozmo here and
I've received a couple e-mails asking questions. I just
noticed that the Cozmo is now included in the Insulin
Pumper's Organization statistics. (Standard self reported
data disclaimers apply.)
The total pump market by manufacturer breaks down as
follows:
Medtronic/Minimed 70% Disetronic 16% (not currently
available in the US) Animas 8% Smith/Deltec 5%
When I started Minimed and Disetronic were the only players
and Minimed had 90-95% of the US market.
77% of the pumpers polled use Humalog and 17% use Novolog.
This was 90%-5%, if memory serves, the first time I looked.
I don't know if this represents aggressive marketing of
Novolog in the US or a larger number of members from places
where Novolog is more popular.
Pumper's test on average 7 times/day and, a to me amazing,
16% test 10 or more times/day.
