Thank you so much for all your replies!! I had to change my endocrinologist so I will be seeing a new Dr on May and will talk with her about a pump, After reading all your replies I'm confident it will work out just fine.
Thank you!!!

You can set up appointments with reps from all the different pump companies and check out each pump up close and personal. Some might even let you try their pumps on for a day or two with saline to get a good feel for it. I highly recommend doing this to see which one you might be more comfortable with. There is no best pump for everyone, each person's personality is different as are their needs. All the pumps basically do the same thing, deliver insulin and calculate boluses based on user input. Each one is slightly different in how you navigate menus, with a few features that are proprietary - like water proof vs water resistant, CGM integrated, color screen, etc. Some are easier for different people than others. It also gives you the opportunity to see which company is going to bend over backwards for you and be the most helpful, who's the most compatible with you service wise.
The pumps available in the US are:
Asante Snap
Medtronic Revel & 530G
Animas Ping
Tandem T:Slim
Omnipod
Accuchek Spirit
