Issues with Medtronic MiniMed 723
Has anyone have had issues with the 723? In the last 2 months, I have gone through 3 insulin pumps. My replacement right away had A33 code, two weeks later my screen had lines going up and down across the screen, couldn't see a thing so they needed to replace it. On monday my pump while I was sleeping went completely blank, non-responsive, placed new battery in and it didn't power back up again. I just have received my new one and leary once again.
I've never had much of an issue with my 722 Insulin Pump, but when i went to the 723 - I'm having nothing but issues one after another.
I'm wondering if anyone has had much issue with Medtronic 723. I've had some words with Medtronic and really not happy. The representive on the phone had told me that I should invest in a backup pump. Mentioned that I'm lookin into going to a different company for my pump therapy instead.

I'm also glad to know I am not the only one. I have been using MM for 12 years, got my 523 last year. Something has been "off" since day one but it wasn't until it up and went dead on my - no alarms, nothing- that now I'm sure something is wrong. I did better on MDI than I did on this pump - what does that tell you? I am now pump shopping and I'm looking at any brand other than MM.
Just wanted to say thanks to all who spoke up - I thought it was just me.
