[QUOTE="sleepster, post: 2484919, member: 482479"] I have a Medtronic pump but when I first started with it I had 2 group training sessions at the hospital with DSNs and a rep, first one we set up the pump with saline and then the next session was a week later and we started insulin. The next pump was an upgrade but still Medtronic so just the one group session to learn the new features. Latest pump was at a new hospital but the same pump and I had an individual training session on Teams with a DSN. Although my funding was approved and I already had the same pump I had to wait several months past my warranty expiry because there was uncertainty with Covid and quite a few people needing training, initially I was given an appointment for in-person training, which I politely declined and the online training was arranged. If your clinic does pump stuff in waves then there might be a delay with training if there are a few of you due to start. So...I'd give them a ring on Monday :D P.s I don't imagine you're silly, but obviously don't try and start using it without any training :nailbiting: [/QUOTE]
