I would like to know how often these folks call the tech support line for their pump company…it is the phone number posted on the back of their pump, NOT the order services line they are talking about in this part of the blog.

I agree with you John. I am leaving MiniMed after 24 years on their pump. This being one of the many reasons. I am switching to Animas and will get my IR 1250 this week. I don't want the ping...love my meter way too much plus it's a smidge bigger than the 2020...yet I don't find the need for the color screen which is the only diff from the 1250. Anyhow trialed the omni and loved it, but I like the Animas best.

Well, my son has pumped with Mini Med for 4 years now. When I had problems with his pump a year ago - the battery wasn't working, it would shut off etc... i had a new pump within 24 hours. I have always been pleased with their service - whether it was for the supplies, pump questions or getting a replacement pump. He is due for a new pump in January, and they are supposed to contact me re: that, so I will see how my service goes - I may be a little more critical now since I know there are so many complaints. I will hope for the best though since I have never had issues like others. Nancy

Good luck Nancy, hope it goes smoothly for you. I've been using their pumps for 5+ years and have had good service. In fact, the other day I had a sensor that had a needle that looked somewhat bent. Called them and they apologized and when I got the replacement, they sent me 5 of them instead of just 1. I called about, not wanting to get a wrong order, and they just told me compliments of MM. Lucky me!

John, this happens to me every time I reorder. Finally I decided to do automatic shipments so we'll see if it's any better. But let me tell you, the people I talk to are PLEASANT, but sometimes I have to call THREE TIMES to get them to start the shipping process. I'll order, call back a week later, and they'll say, "oh, we haven't even processed your order yet..." WTF!?
