Survey of Insulin Pump Failure Rates
I've started a survey to try to get a better sense of the failure rates of various pumps. I got the idea for this after checking out some of the various discussions/debates/arguments/shouting matches for/against various brands of insulin pumps. Please feel free to add your $0.02 here:
http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/118674/monthly-insulin-pump-failures
If you have experience with different pumps, please feel free to add multiple entries to the survey. If you're like me an only have used one pump, then please just make one entry. Once some data starts to accumulate, I'll see what sort of reports I can generate.
Thanks in advance, Mike

New to the Omnipod....my 2nd Pod replacement failed but the PDM alerted me to a "communication error" and I sucked the insulin out and started another. The Insulet phone rep said they'd replace it in my next shipment. 1 month, that's my only problem so far. Great idea, Mike.
