You could honestly spend a month in any of those countries, and barely scratch the surface of all the cultures, people, and ecosystems. I would highly recommend Ghana as a base, due to its stability, infrastructure, and low corruption. If y

I certainly hope that 2G doesn't get phased out for a long time. It is a cheap network that is perfect for IoT devices.

You should check out some of the newer pumps in the past few years - specifically the Tandem t-slim and the OmniPod. A lot more functionality, and a lot less pager like.
