"mikey ...I have in the 10 years of pumping never had " unresolvable " pump issues ...I have an excellent Pump Nurse . I have called MM Canada and MM USA , always had a good report with those on the phone . Over time I have tried all the…"
mikey replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"I just use an excel template and then email my team the info. I have yet to meet with this endo so I'm not sure if he'll be asking for print outs.
I have used Google Spreadsheet before just not for logging. That is a pretty good idea…"
mikey replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"Really 5 years? The rep told me 4, but did say that they would provide a loaner pump between years 4 and 5. Strange to be hearing different info..."
mikey commented on something_exotic's blog post 'Technology: Benifits and Drawbacks'"Great post! You really made some enlightening points, and being a junkie for new technology I completely agree with you on minimizing devises as well as the redundancies of entering in information!"
Loke replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"Sidetrack here.
Have you tried using a Google Spreadsheet for tracking? Similar to Excel but you can then access it anywhere and your doctor can access it online (if they have a computer there) instead of printing it and taking it in."
Loke replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"Haven't checked with MM for supplies due to issues with my stupid medical insurance.
I think I was looking at the specs for the Spirit.
MM is five years warranty according to my material."
SiggyB replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"Hey Mikey,
I am also just like you, i cannot stand tedious things, I guess the best way I can say it to you is, no it doesnt bother me, I got used to it very quickly. To me the customer support, they make ordering the infusion sets a breeze, and…"
mikey replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"Thanks for the responses guys! Keep 'em coming!
Loke,
I tried to order a few things from Bayer website as well and still have not received anything, so I feel your pain on that one. Have you tried to see if MM has any of the meter supplies…"
SiggyB replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"I just went through an exhaustive 3 month search for a new pump.
I have been a MM pump user for over 12 years, I thought it was time to check around with the other manufacturers, as I said I did this. I got my new Animas PING pump 2 months ago and…"
Loke replied to mikey's discussion 'Help Choosing a Pump' in the group Canada Diabetes"This is with ordering supplies from BayerCare. The free batteries are rarely in stock, took over 3 months to get them delivered finally, an additional meter took 3 months, orders from website got stuck in queue, etc...
Getting strips or other…"

Welcome home Mikey....fellow Ontarian!!
Take a peek at some the other groups when you get a chance. Take in some of the blogs/discussions and take a look at the Canada Embassy page as well, by going to the headings in the aqua coloured box in the upper left hand of the home page. Click on "DHF Grassroots". Once you're in scroll down, click on "Canada embassy", and voilà! The house in the photo is where Dr. Frederick Banting lived and had his medical practice in London, Ontario, Canada...before going to the University of Toronto to work on diabetes research, and ultimately the discovery of Insulin.
