I've been using the CareLink with my MacBook OS X on Firefox for months and never had any problems. In fact, it works better with Firefox than with Safari, even though it warns that I should be using Safari. Why? I dunno!

It all seemed to go smoothly, although I was a bit confused as the actual pump never suspended or gave any indication that it was linked. Then when i went to view the data it said there was an error. I will try again later on!

Derek, put up what you find.

I use OSX snow leopard (10.6) with Safari 5. I don't know if it will work with OSX Lion yet (if anyone had lion, publish their results?). I also tried it with Firefox without sucsess, the page said it needs Safari 4/5 and OSX 10.6 (which makes be wonder about Lion compatability).

Hey tim. Thanks for letting us know...I'll give it a try this afternoon!

Want to be the first from the UK to say thanks to Medtronic:

Unofficial announcement! For Medtronic Pump users, who also use Apple Mac computers:

I am delighted because Medtronic have finally made their CareLink database system work for macintosh computers, here in the UK; last night it let me in but complained about Java, this morning it worked - fully!

Yippee, I can consign my virtual PC to to depths of an external drive and get a large wedge of disk space back!

I am thinking about switching from my Paradigm to the Omnipod as it will be available in Canada right away. Anyone have any pros/cons they would like to share? Anyone else considering it?

No, unfortunately, I don't have the CGM.

alexk7, have you tried that with the needle of the CGM? (if you use it).

There is absolutely no worry piercing through the IV3000. The IV3000 is like your skin: the tip of the needle creates a very small opening, it does not cut a circle!

This is the way the nurse told me when I started on the pump and I have been doing this for the last 5 years. At the beginning, I was adding a half IV3000 on top but stopped since it did not help securing the canula or make it last longer. The Smith & Nephew (the IV3000 company) site even says you should not stack them.

I am always afraid the opening of either the cannula or the needle will become plugged by the "skin", same goes for the sensor, I usually cut a hole in the iv 3000 and insert the huge needle through it. The adhesive then sticks to the iv "skin". But I had done this with the mio and it still fell off..
