Derek Powell commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'
"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,
I am a new member of the diabetic guitar players where I read your comment about wearing your pump differently when playing guitar. I will be a type one 52 years this next summer without complications. I play guitar but would never trust electronics designed and built by the Chinese ever because I was an electronics designer for 40 years and many of my designs went to space for the USAF and Canadian governments. I have been injecting since 1959 and consider pumps to be the equivalent to guitar hero and I know we both play real guitars. I need to be sure of everything I do, like a dosage, or a note played on my favorite Fury F22 guitar.

Be well and take control of diabetes.

Don

Ask anything at all, after 52 years I know what works and what does not work. I have always been an experimenter and the last endo I saw was in 1969. I have no support team and never will. I just like to rock hard.
