[QUOTE="IanRA, post: 1600747, member: 331164"] Hi, the Mio is a good device if it properly loaded. One of the issues is when you set the trigger, you must ensure BOTH plastic tabs that hold the trigger in place are engaged. If not, when you release, the needle will be at an angle (assymetric). This causes the needle to bounce off the skin. When you withdraw the needle the catheter is kinked on top of the skin, and not entered into the skin. Hence, the insulin will not be into the body but onto the body. So, each time you load the Mio ensure both plastic tabs are engaged on the trigger mechanism. Then you will be fine. Given Medtronics are well aware of this issue, one would have thought they would include this advice in their instructions, but in spite of telling them about this they are still to act. I have now brought this matter to the attention of our National Diabetic authority in Australia. Hopefully something will happen soon. I went back to using the Silhouette which inserts manually and has never caused me an issue. But of course, if you are squeemish about inserting a needle, the Mio may be for you (providing you use it appropriately). [/QUOTE]
