Sam R replied to Jim's discussion 'Medtronic MMT-7006 Transmitter Adhesive Patches - How do you use these?'"I found out that these patches are not for the new available sensors. They are really for the old original sensor that was used in clinical studies.

Jim replied to Jim's discussion 'Got some Medtronic CGMS sensors I'm not going to use...'"Yes, but shipping them through the mail over state lines to someone might make this a federal felony. I wonder if you could go through a doctor who would verify that the person in question had a prescription before dispensing them directly. Hmmmmm."
dep replied to Jim's discussion 'Got some Medtronic CGMS sensors I'm not going to use...'"You won't find any official program that will take them as they require a Rx and there is no way they could insure the integrity of the product.
You best bet, IMO, is to donate them to someone who needs them though you do have to keep in mind…"

Jim posted a discussionGot some Medtronic CGMS sensors I'm not going to use...
Hi all, I've just switched back to the Dexcom and MDI after a year and a half of being on the pump using the Medtronic Paradigm pump and CGMS. As a result, I've got some extra Medtronic sensors that expire at the end of this month and that I'm not going to be using. (The Medtronic CGMS did not work as well for me as the Dexcom, in particular it missed a lot of my lows completely, though I know some others find this not to be the case.)It seems a terrible waste to let them expire and toss…See More
