Hi i am in the process of updating my pump next yr and looking into the above which Medtronic have ageeed to put me on a trial for in feb next year! Just wondered what peoples experiences were with this fab bit of kit?
I have been on the accuchek spirit combo pump for last 4yrs and i detest it! Wanting something with a cgm and the minimed looks fab!
Thanks in advance

whats wrong with spirit combo i would like to know ...
as i have tried the new accuchek pump but still wait for steel needles which are not ave due to recall
now on 2 combo 9 years
all new punp s seemed be on recharged batts and very small insulin vials my one can get 300 +
but must be a lot wrong if you do not like

on new pump s it a pity we can try one first as this has to last 3/4 years happy xmas

It may have a cgm available... but it will depend upon you financing or your CCG.

I had accuchek combo and insight and then 640. I hated 640 and it was returned within 2 weeks.

Why?

It had no remote and I absolutely detested it because of this.

Having worn my pump on arm for 5 years and having better smaller dose changes the 640 was absolutely a no go for me.
