If so, I do too, and I have no issues with insulin degradation over 6 days. Interestingly, the studies done into insulin degradation in plastic reservoirs back in 2007 were done using Medtronic reservoirs and showed that you could use them for 7 days with no issues - <a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/dia.2006.0041" target="_blank">http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/dia.2006.0041</a>As a result of this study, I tried it myself and saw no degradation so I refuse to follow the mandate from Medtronic on this one. I have sent this study to DSNs regarding this as a sales strategy from Medtronic, to make a point. They found it very "interesting".I have a feeling that you got a great time out of Roche as you were an early adopter of the Insight and were giving them a large amount of feedback into your results with it and issues that were occurring. They benefited dramatically from your feedback in that context.</blockquote>
