Hello, I've been a MM pumper since 2001, wearing 712 since August 2006. Cheers! :0)

I started pumping on April 14th - I have a Minimed 722. Still getting rates set up and learning how to finesse this new fine-tuned control. In a way, it's like learning everything all over again. But it's GREAT!!!!! I already can see it's well worth the hassles of this "adjustment period". I can't imagine ever going back to the injections.

My new doctor just told me that I have an old pump that Medtronic was supposed to have replaced with the 750? Does anyone know anything about this?

We've been using the MM 522 for my daughter for just 3 and half weeks. We're still in the process of getting her basal rates, etc regulated, but I can't believe what a lifestyle change this will be for all of us!!! If we can make it through this start-up phase (testing 2 to 3 times a night and it seems like a million times during the day) and catch up on our sleep, it'll all be worth it, right??? We're using the Sure-T and seems to be working fine for her so far (knock on wood).

Any info on the "new pump"? I didn't know a new one was coming out. Does anyone know how the trade-in/upgrade system works with Medtronic? Do you have to have your existing pump for a certain amount of time?

I've had absorbtion problems off and on in the 10 years I've been pumping. When I've had that problem I remember to vary my sites. I've used the Silhouette since I started pumping even when I had a Disetronic and they called them Tenders.

Oh minimed, minimed 522,
What did I do before I met you?
You are with me for the rest of my life,
The only one even more than my wife!! LOL!

Hello all - glad to be here....since it means I'm on the pump! Should say "back" on the pump: went off a few times due to some issues with absorbtion, etc. Anyone have same? Switched insertion set to Silhouette, working better now...

My son has had his minimed 722 for one month now and he is having much better control than he ever had on injections and also he loves not having 4 needles a day!! Yay
