Pump Crached last night around 9:30

My MM 722 crashed last night about 9:30. MM told me to disconnect but though I would stay hooked up and test every hour to make sure I would not do a nose dive with my BGs. Did great last night. After being on the phone with Medtronic for about 10 min.s had a new pump on the way and rec.ed it about 8:45 this morning I am up and running and things could not be better.

I have another commitment that night but it looks like it might get cancelled. So it's still up in the air right now. If it does get cancelled I will be there. Only problem is, I dont cook so I dont know what to bring.

I really like it a lot, I have been on the pump for a little over a year and everything is going well. There have been some things here and there that have happened, but nothing that couldn't be fixed quickly and nothing that the company wasn't helpful with and replaced at their cost. My blood sugars are like a normal persons with the pump because it's so easy to keep track of everything. I do have highs and lows but I think that will happen no matter what I do. It was a huge sock to all of us when I was diagnosed 2 years ago. No one in my family has Diabetes of any kind and defiantly not Type 1. So it has been not just a big adjustment for me but for my whole family. But I am fine with it and I just see it as one of those things that happens. At least it is not something worse that I can't take care of. How do you like your pump?

Andy,

My son is on the OmniPod now with the MM Guargiand CGM. My sister uses a MM (can't remember which model) and we would definitely use pe of their pumps. I would have used them this time, but we like the Pod being tubeless. I hear the MM is coming out with a tubless model next year with CGM built in, and we will definitely have an eye out for it. How do you like yours?

Hey Andy,

After all those years with the big D, do you have any complications?

Andy, sorry to say those are not my grandchildren, I don't have any. They are my great nieces and nephews. My children are old enough to have kids but none of them do. Thanks anyway.
