"I'm glad your ok. Today I had to throw out 2 reservoirs because they were leaking after I unscrewed the plunger. Over the last couple of years the reservoirs seem to be cheaper. It must be cost cutting measures by Medtronic at our expense."

Mark replied to lchase's discussion 'High due to a faulty resevoir' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump UsersMark replied to Desi's discussion 'Silhouette Sil-Serter' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"When I started, they didn't have a sil-serter and I inserted by hand. Now I use one, but I only use silhouettes on my abdomen. I use Mios on my arms or upper thighs. They don't insert as deep and they come with their own inserter."

Mark commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"Sheri , my Dr. has a Revel and has know problem with Lithium batteries. My neighbor also uses them. I find when I use them and they are losing power, they will drop like 2 bars at once. I replace them then."
Mark commented on Manny Hernandez's group 'Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users'"Try using the Energizer AAA Lithium Battery. You will get 7 to 8 weeks out of one battery. My eye Dr. uses them in his pump and he told me about them and I been using them for a year with no problems."
Mark replied to Jennifer's discussion 'CGM Sites - Abrasions under connection between sensor and tansmitter' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Jennifer,
After I put my sensor on and take out the needle, I take a piece of Kendall Polyskin II tape (Ref # 6640) and cut it in half length wise. I then put 1 half over the plastic where the needle came out and the other underneath the metal…"
