Medtronic MiniMed: Protect My Child<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately this is by Mini-Med. Sorry, but after watching the insulin-pumpers list since June, and reading the archives back through March, these are not people I want to to trust with my life.<\/p>\n

They’ve apparently screwed up every new device they released this year. <\/p>\n

The Paradigm system only works with properitory infusion sets. (FYI — this is why I always have hated Macs). <\/p>\n

The BD Monitor that links with the Paradigm 512 and 712 gives off error messages on 3 out of 5 test strips (okay, maybe it’s 2 out of 5), to just about everyone who has used it. The only people who don’t seem to follow some really bizarre instructions.<\/p>\n

They sold a bunch of insulin pumps as water tight (or was that proof — there is some difference between the terms), then had most of them fail — giving too much insuiln in most cases — as soon as they got damp. I was just thinking about a pump then, and we have a pool so I was sure glad not to have gotten one of those, and have an Animas that is water proof.<\/p>\n

A group of people have been harassed by the company for bills they were told had been paid by their insurance companies or were told were forgiven as long as 4 years ago. Usually co-pays.<\/p>\n

A large number of people hate their new insulin set — the Quick Set Plus. While I attribute a lot of that feeling to a “who moved my cheese feeling”, I feel their pain, as I tried SpectraRX sets and hated them for many of the same reasons — and I really wanted to like those sets.<\/p>\n

It seems it won’t be available for a couple of months, so hopefully Therasense’s Navigator will be on the close horizon.<\/p>\n

And it is definately NOT a company I want to use to deliver me a closed loop system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
