Hi, Has anyone used the Guardian Connect system? I've just started using it but the alerts are so quiet that I find the system useless to warn about night time hypos. i

I'm looking for a Bayer Contour Next Link 2.4 meter - the remote control for the Medtronic 600 series pumps - in the US. Can anyone suggest an online supplier? Thanks.

Hi guys I've been on the Medtronic paradigm pump for just over 3 years so will be coming to the end of my 4 year warranty in a few months. Pump therapy has undoubtedly improved my control - I eventually got funded for too many hypos which have now reduced as well as lowering my HBA1C to 6.6%...

So after many years of resisting it I have finally gone onto the pump. They fitted me out last Monday with a saline run through so I could get used to pump care first and see if I was ok wearing it. The aim is to go live with insulin this Monday coming (so wish me luck! ), but there is one...

Hi all, So after a visit to the hospital to discuss pumps, I really like the idea of getting one. I have been invited to a manufacture talk (Medtronic and Accu Check), but naturally they are only going to talk about the positives as they want you to use their product. But I want to know the...

Hi all, I've been trying to sort my basal rate on my pump for a fair few nights now by doing overnight testing. But the last two times I've tried, I'd either been too high to test or went hypo after dinner before the pre-bed blood test. It's really frustrating me as on these basal test nights I...

Hi all, Just started pumping this week - still on saline and "go live" on Monday with insulin. I was wondering if there was any way to see the active insulin you have left as the time left in your body? I can see I have 2.4u left, which while great, doesn't necessarily help me know when it'll...

Hi Can anyone suggest an alternative case for the Contour Next Link? My new medtronic pump has arrived, and this is the tester it came with, but the case is awful. The test strips don't fit and it pushes the meter out the bottom of the car when trying to ip it up. I travel a lot and could do...

Hi all, I had a pre-pump assessment this week that went well. I had my HbA1c result the same day which was 7.8 (which shocked me, I thought it'd be higher!), which I'm really pleased with considering it was 10.something a year ago and the lowest I've had in years. The nurse said its nearly a 3%...

Hey guys I am pretty new to the Medtronic 640g pump and use the mio infusion sets.... I have found that the adhesive irritates my skin and after the first day of wearing it I find myself itching the site area and want to take it out. Any solutions to stop the irritation as love the mio sets...

Hi all! I'm looking for a used, expired or new minilink transmitter to buy it. edit by mod to remove contact details.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to ask which infusion set would be best to use in my arm? I have never tried to use my arm but after 12 years of injections and infusion sets my stomach needs a break! I am on a medtronic 640G and currently using Sure-T's because of kinking but I do have some quick...
