Thanks anyway folks. I think these were on the market a few years back - probably no longer available as the 522/722s are quite old hat now, I suppose a lot of people will have moved onto newer pumps. @azure - Medtronic actually took a company to court, and won, because they were making adapters...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows where I could get an adapter to allow me to use other infusion sets with a Medtronic 522 or 722 pump? These pumps use a specific connection, but other manufacturers mostly use a standard Luer lock connection. Apparently, there used to be an adapter on the...

They're refusing to fund a pump, end of. I'm in Scotland, so the situation is a little different (my impression is that it's harder to get a pump here than in England). There's only one pump available, the 640g, but there's now a squeeze on funding, although I don't think the situation is...

Thanks! Yeah, I have seen a few mentions of that online, I'll send some emails and see what I can find out.

Thanks CarbsRok, I'll have a look into that. I am keen to fight my case, but with it being so close to the date i was due to start, I'm kind of resigned to not getting it this month. Maybe I'll be able to get funding after a delay though.

I got my starter pack on Friday, just in time to use it on our holiday to Thailand, Oz and New Zealand. First impressions are basically, how did I ever get by without this thing?! It's painless so far, and accurate enough for me - the furthest out it has been is 1.5 under. I find its pretty...

My order is in! Fingers crossed it arrives this week...

Okay, thanks!

Do the starter packs need to be signed for when they are delivered? Or are they small enough to fit through a letter box? I got an email on Tuesday to say I'll be able to order one next week. I'm really hoping I can get it by next Saturday - off on holiday and would be great to have it in time...

Hi All, I've been low-carbing for around 3 weeks now and seems to be going reasonably well. I had to reduce my basal (Levemir) by about 20% over the first few days. Now, over the past week, I seem to be finding that my basal requirements are creeping back up again. I'm now back to the amount...
