I am hearing that not only in UK but in Oz that Medtronic pumps are getting errors, causing problems and that Medtronic actually make a lot of the other companies infusion sets. The plastic cannula ones are causing troubles and many have turned to using infusion sets with  steel cannulas.Not sure if the company is experiencing quality control issues but the increase in troubles has made my endo and nurse worried !These 3.3 mmol/l settings seem to me to be forcing people to use Medtronics CGM so that the suspend infusion function is used. But as you point out how does that ensure you stay above 5 mmol/l?I gather Medtronic CGM is more expensive that Dexcom. I have not priced the Medtronic CGM for Oz but Dexcom works out at about AUD 7,000 per year.</blockquote>
