    Islet transplant - anyone had one?

    I asked this question ten years ago, so thought I'd ask again, I'm thinking of asking about having one of these - has anyone had one, and if you have, how have you found things? Have you suffered as a result, ie complications of the drugs, etc etc?

    Anyone else's Medtronic Paradigm cracked in the hot weather?

    As I put in my breakfast bolus I noticed cracks diagonally either side of the screen. I most definitely have not dropped the pump. However I have been out in the 30 degree heat and back in again into my very cool thick-walled 600 yr old cottage quite a few times a day. Medtronic are sending...
