[QUOTE="sleepster, post: 2393103, member: 482479"] Hi again [USER=542058]@SJT1D[/USER] for my training it was mainly done with a Medtronic rep for my first and second pumps, now that I'm on my third and this one is the same as the last one (and I guess because of covid) it's just with a DSN. I know your questions about Medtronic are for Maco but I'll share my experience. Supplies are ordered from Medtronic (except for insulin and obviously all your test strips etc still come from the pharmacy), you can do it over the phone or on their online shop [URL]https://shop.medtronic-diabetes.co.uk/[/URL] and I get 3 months-worth at a time. The parcel comes from The Netherlands via UPS, although their UK call centre is in Watford. Parcels come within a couple of days, but they suggest you re-order when you are down to 1 months supply - in case of any issues. Medtronic themselves are great in my experience, I've had a few pump replacements and they'll get a new pump to you within hours if something has gone wrong. If it's out of hours you have to speak to somebody in the US, so it might be the next day you get your new pump but still pretty good if you ask me. There was some supply problems a while back, I think it was reservoirs they were having trouble with, you can probably find some old threads on the matter if you're bored :D but on the whole, I'm a big fan of Medtronic and can't see myself choosing other pumps over a Medtronic, given the choice.
