bort269 replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I finally got mine today after calling Bayer 3 times!
I do have to say that it is WAY better, especially with my OneTouch strips container and lancet device!"
Geoffrey Steinman replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"through my insurance, i wound up paying $13 for my 2nd link meter, my minimed rep said that she doesn't have any free to give out right now. You can get a free Contour NEXT meter from your Bayer rep, but it won't link with your meter."
Unicornzzz replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"No, the USB and the USB Next Link do not use the same strips. Call Bayer and explain your situation. They may or may not sent you a USB Next Link but they probably will send you a Next or a Next EZ. They make money off of you using their strips and…"
rick phillips replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Does anyone know if the contour USB meter uses the same strips as the contour next link? Has any ever been able to get a second and third free or near free contour next link? Yes i got my one new one. But to use it I need to get some additional…"
musicman88 replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I've found that if you put the strip container in so that the cap is toward the inside of the pouch it works better. It also seems to get looser over time."
bort269 replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"...never got it, so I called again last night and they said they will send another one. They couldn't even find a track number for my previous order! :-("
Unicornzzz replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Scott E, I would call back and hope that I spoke to a different customer service clerk. The first clerk I talked with did not know what I was talking about but the second one did. The new case does not come in the grey. You will have to pick…"
Unicornzzz replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I got my cases in 3-4 days by UPS. Mine came from IN and I live in GA."
Scott E replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"How long did it take to receive your replacement? I called on April 25th (they took my model/serial number) and now, almost two weeks later, nothing has come. They told me it would be a couple of days.
Maybe I'll try the email route..."
Unicornzzz replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Call Bayer Customer Service. You will need to tell them that you do not want the Next Link USB case, you want the case for the USB meter. The Next Meter case is the same one that comes with the Next Link Meter. It has the little plastic sleeve that…"
Linda B replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I use the Delica lancing device, and managed to get everything into the case, but I'm curious to know if you like the new case better when you get it. Be sure to tell us!"
Geoffrey Steinman replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Awesome, thanks. I'm not sure why i didn't think to complain to them before complaining on here, they are shipping out 2 replacements to me (1 for each of my meters). The rep i talked to called it an "upgraded meter wallet" so it…"
Bacail replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Just contacted Customer service at bayer and they are shipping out an upgraded case 2-3 business day. took all of about 10 minutes. YOINK"
Unicornzzz replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Next link comes in black only. The USB one may come in different colors."
Kate's Mom replied to Geoffrey Steinman's discussion 'Contour NEXT USB (Link Meter) pouch' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Did he ask you for model/serial number for your meter? If not, try emailing them. I explained how poorly the pouch worked in an email. Include your name, address + model/serial number. Good luck."

Cathy McConkey said… - a lot of hard work and effort. We keep a spreadsheet and have every blood sugar, every carb, every insulin dose recorded since diagnosis. We review and evaluate all the time. We change his basal when needed, change his carb ratio daily and through out the day based on many things. Our entire day revolves around John's eating, dosing, checking, etc.
all that being said, he's been really sick lately with upper respiratory stuff and the meds have totally smacked us in the head. We have still worked just as hard, but today's A1C was 6.9. Still within normal limits, but up from where it was. I expected it. Was disappointed, but not surprised.
