"Hi simonewarrior. Actually with the Sure-T, you can just put the needle back in nearby and tape it down with simple cloth tape. I'm allergic to Tegaderm and use the cloth tape in the first insertion, and sometimes put a band-aid over that for…"

The Mio is noticeably more comfortable and more convenient, especially for carrying backups around with you. It did seem to have a lot of steps to insert it but after doing a few…"
"Oh! You do need to tape down the part with the needle, in my experience. I usually put in the needle, slap a Tegaderm over that, then place the second contact on the Tegaderm (not on top of the needle part). You could probably use either Opsite…"

simonewarrior replied to simonewarrior's discussion 'Question: I have a Paradigm Insulin pump and a sample Mio Infusion Set..Do they work together?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I have the 722, good to know. I don't know why she told me it would not work. Now you say you manually insert your Quick Set? Do you ease it in or just go for it like shooting a dart? I'm curious because the one time I got a hold of the…"
"hello. I use the 723 with CGM. I did try the Mio about a year ago, but found it somewhat difficult. Too many steps to infuse them and not worth the bother. I have used the QuickSet for about five years. I manualy insert them with no problems. Your…"

I appreciate you letting me know that it does work with it. I think she told me that the resevoir I use would not fit this one but honestly it looks like it would fit. I did want to try this one hoping that…"

"Yeah, the Mio is a Teflon set and not steel, so that's kind of odd. If you want to try a steel set, that would be the Sure-T. You should be able to call Medtronic and have them send you samples if you want to try different infusion…"
simonewarrior replied to Janie G's discussion 'Need helps...Getting a pump for the first time!' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Hi Janie, I personally have the Medtronic MiniMed Paradigm it works pretty good in that it holds a good bit of insulin in the resevoir that it uses (3mL).I like that it gives you different alerts audio and vibration also when you are running low…"
gabby replied to simonewarrior's discussion 'Question: I have a Paradigm Insulin pump and a sample Mio Infusion Set..Do they work together?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"The mio is actually va set made by Medtronic Minimed that works with the Minimed paradigm pumps. So actually she is wrong. It will work with your pump. Also it is inserted with a needle but it comes out like your quikset. The needle comes out and…"

Question: I have a Paradigm Insulin pump and a sample Mio Infusion Set..Do they work together?
I usually use the Quick Set infusion sets but I wanted to try out one with a metal needle instead of the plastic one. My nurse gave me the Mio to sample, then she told me I couldn't use it with my pump because it would not work with it..is she correct? Has anyone tried using it with this pump cause it looks like it would fit? Even though she said it wouldn't work she told me I could just try it anyway so I could see what it would feel like going in...Really? They hurt enough as it is, why…See More
