Hello, In my country there are VERY few suppliers and sometimes these companies are kind of related ( i found two using the same '' office building '' so to say. One big supplier even has a kind of shop inside the hospital. One of the medical staff told me that this supplier will give non...

Hello, GOOD to know my future will be brighter going to Instinct. Strange that usually the industry and the medical staff will kind of having the same mindset believing the user must do something wrong.I have the idea that some of the medical staff is being bribed ( maybe not to clearly visual)...

Hello, I have had 3 Guardian 4 sensors one after another ceasing to exist less than 7 days. Sure, they will send you a replacement free of charge BUT that is not the solution. Probably my next '' box '' of sensors will be with the Instinct sensor. If i experience any problems in the future i...

Hello, The insulin works '' better '' because your veins getting wider. I think you must do alittle more than trusting your pump and sensor. For instance if I eat 80 grammes of carbohydrate with tropical temperature i will ask my pump to suggest the recommended dose of insulin and only use half...

Hello, Of course it is a big shame that these companies can get away with providing so many people with devices which are not working properly. As usual there are people who dont experience any problem at all with products other people are complaining about. JUST imagine we would be talking...

Hello, Once a year i spent two to three months in South East Asia and there are always people telling me it is good for diabetic people. People also eat it more when they are feeling sick. AND i also hear a lot that most old people like it. It is most popular in Vietnam. If i am right i once...

Hello, This weekend i updated the software in my pump to be able to use the Instinct sensor when it will be available. I did not have yet the Medtronic/minimed app on my android phone so first i had to arrange that. Time consuming process. Then the software update. How the hell didn't they find...

Hello, I had another one ceasing to exist yesterday. Maybe 15 hours before the 7*24 hours BUT as usual at a moment i was not expecting. The other brands have also customers who have been using a sensor for a long time with no issues and then suddenly there are these premature failures. I think...

Hello, I travel a lot too. Usually the only thing i worry about is the insulin pump and the sensor on my arm. The stock of sensors are not connected to a '' power supply '' so i dont fear for them. Usually the security staff in my own country are causing the majority of problems. While they are...

Hello, I have read about stickers ( glue) causing skin irritation. The main problem with my stickers ( from the infuse sets) that they wont always stick that well. For the sensor i would prefer a bigger sticker that will surely stick and not a '' miniature sticker '' because of better looks. The...

Hello, I think most sensor users know about now that choosing a sensor is not that easy Some people only complain about sensors getting dirty. I want it to stick and sometimes touching it while putting a backpack is already enough. Maybe i will some referre bands made to measure next time i am...

Hello, Probably in my country if using one year the extended version will mean it is double or even more expensive for my health insurance to pay they will need to be convinced by medical staf that these extra costs will be very beneficial for me. If it will improve my health it will be easier...

Hello, About a year ago i had a have a small brain operation because an acquired brain injury. After surgery i had to '' recover '' for half a day in the hospital during which some things were checked like the sugar level in my blood. The nurse who did execute these little tests told me i had a...

Hello, Sure inserting the Guardian 4 is a piece of cake for me BUT sticking a non flat object with rather ridged tape to your skin is far from being ideal! Probably designed by people who are hoping they will never have to use it themselves in the future. I get 3 ml '' containers '' from my...

Hello, Of course there must be reason if different users worldwide are starting having similar problems. I sometimes have the idea that medical staff will choose the side of the manufacturers and tell us WE must be doing something wrong. In the past if you were willing to invest a little more...
