    Medtronic 7 day infusion sets

    It,s the cannula that lasts 7 days, if you use more insulin than the reservoir then you just refill the reservoir, I am trying one now so we will see although I cannot see medtronic saying 7days if they don't work for 7 days, but I agree with you I only get 2 to 3 days out of my minimed quicksets

    I have a few autoimmune problems, so not just a few beta cells affected for me and sorry to say but 1% of the world's population seems rather a lot to me and to say they are not worth protecting seems very sad , I have to say if someone says they are not vaccinated then I will not invite them...
