Hi
@TessG83, Sorry to hear about such a bad run with one pump brand.
The fact that a similar thread was started by
@sophc just over 3 months ago shows that you are not alone.
I am uncertain what happened in the end with her troubles so I hope she can join in here!
As per
@Juicyj , I assume that the rep and DSN went over the pump casing with a magnifying glass (and used a light in a darkened room) and maybe used some mild stressing of the pump's structure to rule out a hairline crack? I hoped they would have given you a replacement pump but then why would you trust it ??
One way you might have some confidence in using your pump is to pay for and use some form of CGM with a in-built or app-enabled alarm to at least catch any BSL rise early.
1) Do you change to another brand of pump on the basis that there has been a 4 pump strike out rate? And if so which one?
And would you trust it? Medtronic would have to take back your pump as a failed pump provider maybe in order for you to be able to be provided with another brand of pump.
2) Or do you go back to MDI and use another strategy to improve the BSLs, avoid hypos etc?
There may be a way to do 2) but you might need the right doctor and nurse to succeed. And only if you are convinced that you cannot continue with a pump. There is no shame in the pump not working for you but I hope a cause can be found.
