I was persuaded to switch from Accu-Chek insight to Medtronic 640g since then my hba1c has gone from 40mmol to 68mmol. I have been in ketoacidosis 3 times. I have only had the pump for 23 days!
The MEDTRONIC infusion sets compared to the ROCHE ACCU-CHECK ones seem such poor quality. the mio's just do not inject without kinking.
My problem is its a 4 year sign up :-( The other infusion sets they have offered me sound horrific, steel cannulas that need 2 large stickers attached to your body & need changing every 24 hours.
How have they managed to supply the UK market with such poor quality accessories.
I believe there is now available to buy MIO Advance that solves these issues, but people with similar issues to mine have been waiting for them for over 12 months on prescription. Medtronic say there arnt any available.
Does anyone know who we can speak to about medical companies supplying sub standard kit?
