Hi all,

I've finally decided I'm done being a Luddite -- I want to trade in my notebook and pencil for the Carelink software to track my diabetes. I think a long time ago it was free but now it looks like you have to buy a $60 usb drive -- is that the case? Also, how useful do you find the software? Does it allow you to add information or does it simply download what's in your pump? Any other insight you can pass along is appreciated!

What took you so long? There is almost too much information for you to analyze using Carelink. I hated the pen and paper log.

At first you might be overwhelmed with all the info but it really is very useful. It took me a while to figure out which reports were helpful and so mostly I stick with the Sensor Daily Overlay, Trends summary and quick view summary.
Waiting for the day when I can download it anywhere.

Looks like you have an offer to send you one.
Your minimed rep will likely also be able to give you one.
