[QUOTE="Mrsass, post: 1138390, member: 86119"] Good luck Jo I have no doubt at all that you will love it! I got mine just over 2 years ago and cannot imagine life without it, I won't lie, there can be days when you want to throw it out the **** window but those days are extremely rare! I'm with Medtronic and their customer services are spot on if you ever have problems and can't speak to your diabetes team! It is very odd at first, personally I felt like i shouldn't move around too much as I imagined I had some kind of giant needle inside of me so didn't dare bend over lol you get used to it in no time. make sure the cannula's are suited to you, some people get given a few to try, I didn't and was just given the most popular but mine kinked constantly which ended up in some very high bg readings - hence the wanting to throw it out the window - so ended up changing to the sure t steel cannula's rather than the plastic, but all problems can be solved so don't worry :) [/QUOTE]
