Medtronic minimed 722 - I found a function BG reminder - and I turned it on. When does it remind? Is there a place where I can set the time for the reminder?

Riette, you didn't say what pump our child is using, but My Metronics and I would assume most other pumps have BG reminders you can easily set once you turn the function on. Check with you pump manufacturer.

I would like a alarmclock which can be set. My child (12) is using the pump for a year now. I want him to test his Bg at school - but he forgets. I would like to set a alarm to remember him to test.

What is you personal basal rates for 24 hours? How do you determine your rate? It will be interesting to see what the comparisons are between people..

Hi everyone! I'm new to the tudiabetes area but I love the idea of this group. From the posts I've read the ideas are GREAT! I've actually ordered a few things, a nightshirt (and pants for cold nights) with a pocket for the pump and a few garter-type things that hold the pump under a skirt from a site called Pumpwear.com....It might have what some are looking for (it had a few garter type things too).....The only thing that I wish they had would be something that "hides the bulge" that the Pump can sometimes make under clothes. I wear the Medtronic Minimed 722.

I want underwear that's cute and/or sexy that has a pocket in the waist in the middle of the back. Or a garter belt with the same pocket so I have someplace to put it during marital relations.

After reading the present posts, it sounds like some of you are describing a case I purchased from Amazon.com. It is called the PumpPak anf holds extra pump supplies. Plenty of room for everythig...even an extra meter, test strips, insulin vials, etc. and ir fits into my mesenger bag quite well, It is about half the size of a notebook/binder and hs double zippers. I hope this helps someone!!

I would love to see a CGM sensor and transmitter incorporated into the infusion set. I think Omnipod is going to that with Dexcom 1st quarter of 09! I hear that they are also thinking about making 2 reservoirs in the pod 1 insulin and 1 glucagon. That would be cool

I would love to have pre-filled cartridges but from what I understand they can't because Insulin breaks down the plastic after a short period of time.. I think the last I read was after 4-5 days it starts to break down. That's why all the vials are still glass. I would really like a leather type case with no velcro, so that it will fit in with business attire better.. perhaps something like the black leather cases that come with a blackberry pda with a magnetic clip(no shhrippp noise! lol) and some great suggestion are here so far! I would also like to see a travel bag with all the proper sized spots for minimed supplies and a section that would hold a cold gel pack for transporting insulin. I recently paid $100 for a travel bag from medtronic that is supposed to carry my laptop as well and it is smaller than the leather breifcase I use already.. another waste of money!

DITTO to EVERYTHING that MidnightButterflyIris said. Those are absolutely great ideas! Everyone has made suggestions for items that I would like as well.
How about making prefilled insulin cartridges that you could just place into the pump without having to go through the trouble of filling the reservior and then struggling to get all those %^$#%#$% tiny bubbles out. Like the Insulin pen - just put the cartridge in the pump and then add the tubing.
I also have trouble seeing the bubbles in the tubing. It would be great if there was a way to make it easier to see if you have pushed all the bubles out or not.
