I FINALLY got my pump last Monday after 2 years of waiting. I've got a Medtronic 640g and I'm already seeing an improvement just a week and a half on.However, I've reached a bit of a problem and am waiting for my specialist to get back to me but just wanted to ask people here for advice. I setup my Medtronic Eshop account as soon as I got home from the hospital and it said it should be verified in 2-3 days. Waited that long and my account was still being verified. Contacted Medtronic and they said wait 8 working days. I did and it's still not verified, called them today and was now told it can take up to 2 weeks and to call them back Friday.In the meantime, I'm currently on the 1.8ml reservoirs and was only given one box of 10. My specialist said she'd move me onto the 3ml reservoirs because I'm quite insulin heavy and that's what I'm to order from Medtronic when I can. After just a week and a half, I've only got 5 reservoirs left and need to change again tonight. I don't know if my remaining ones are going to last me until I can finally get an order in for reservoirs and infusion sets and they arrive.I can work out how to reuse a reservoir BUT is it safe to do so? Of course I hope my specialist comes back to me and says that the hospital has emergency supplies or something but if they don't then I ideally need another way around it, otherwise, I'm gonna have to go back to MDI just 2 weeks after getting the pump.</blockquote>
