Infusion Sets
Started Feb 9, 2012 0 Replies 0 Likes
Being new to all this Pump stuff raises a few questions. The cost of the Infusion sets, sensors etc, is verry high.....especially through Medtronic. Typical Cost for a box of 10 Sensor is around…Continue

Keef replied to Mark's discussion 'Just got my Revel system -- What type of meter should I use' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Mark, I received my firt pump about 4 months ago, and the CGMS a week or so later. In the package I also received a OneTouch Ultralink BG Meter. My pump is the Revel723 and the BG meter connect wirelessly to the pump whenever I take a reading. You…"
Keef replied to Chadd's discussion 'Issues with Medtronic MiniMed 723' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"You know, that's a good quetion...and one I hadn't even considered before. I need to check signal problems when near to my cell phone, as sometimes the signal was weak for no apparent reasone."
Keef replied to Chadd's discussion 'Issues with Medtronic MiniMed 723' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I was very interested in reading these messages....I too have a Revel 723, my first pump. I started using this machine about 4 months ago and to date have had no problems like those reported here whatsoever. I also use the Medtronic CGMS, the…"
Timothy replied to Keef's discussion 'Medical Equipment Hacks' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"It is scary I think they are fixing the trouble though. This hole in the security has allowed me to use my Dexcom sensors with my MM pump.
I'm guessing that is not going be possible for long. Any I only did it to use them up.
I think though…"
Keef replied to Keef's discussion 'Medical Equipment Hacks' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"The BBC story suggest the hack was com,pleted by someone from McAfee, in less than 2 weeks. WHo would want to hack into something like this?? I'd say anyone who has in penchant for hacking into sites for no other reason than they are there to…"
Keef replied to Keef's discussion 'Medical Equipment Hacks' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I wouldn't say it was urban legend, the story comes from a pretty ligitimate source, the BBC (see the link in my original message)."
"Urban legends........that's all false info."
KNelson replied to Keef's discussion 'Medical Equipment Hacks' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I've heard a lot about this and somewhere on this site there is another post saying that medtronic is seriously investigating this. I've read that it's only been possible to suspend the pump (still dangerous but not as bad) and that…"

Medical Equipment Hacks
Has anyone seen the recent news concerning the ability of testers to hack into Medical Implant Devices (including Insulin Pumps). Apparently they wer able to "reprogram" a pump device from as far away as 300ft, instructing the pump to deliver its entire Insulin content in one go, this without ever having to ID themselves, or the pump device. This sounds pretty scarey to me.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17623948See More
Keef commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"I use alcohol swabs or IV preps, whatever comes out of my Diabetic bag first, the only time I get this message is when the Pump and the Sensor are not close eneough to send/receive signals. Medtronic will always tell you to connect to your stomach,…"
Cosumne Jan replied to Keef's discussion 'How do I lose weight'"I hate it when people say that, fat makes me gag, but they're right."

What Happened???

I have been "Pumping" now for about 3 months and with the continued help of my NP have been able to get my levels down to a reasonable number for some considerabel time now. Initially my levels were all over the place, highs, lows, loads of alarms and the whole process was time consuming and worrysome. But the pump regime has taught me to control my sugars much better, I "count carbs", in fact I am trying desparately to reduce carbs and the last time I ate bread, pasta, rice, potatoes was…

Hay Keef, Albert is looking a little pale, WAXY even. You may want to get him a glass of orange juice, and check his bg in about 15 minutes:).
