My husband walks by the desk where I am reading, viewing user guides, pushing buttons and says, "Did you learn everything yet?"

I received my first pump on Monday. It was a weird feeling seeing the two boxes on the step of the brown truck getting ready to be unloaded with the name "Medtronic" on the side of it. As I signed my name on the electronic signature pad, I wondered if the UPS guy could see my emotions or realized how my life was about to change.

Medtronic just released the Revel yesterday. 4 years ago I got my 715 pump the same day the 722 was released and even though I tried I wasn't able to upgrade for free and ended up paying the full pathway upgrade price. I was ticked. And I complained loudly.

Anyway my rep just emailed and said that there is a 30 day trade or free upgrade. I'd call your rep or call Minimed. It looks to me like you also got the CGMS there and the Revel has a ton of CGMS upgrades that you should look into.

HAd the same experience the other day! Unpacked it all, relooked at all the little goodies (blue clips, what the ..?) in the nicely packaged pump box, all these things that keep me alive and ticking on everyday. I skipped reading the manuals though, just dove into setting up the Wizard! Never used another pump other than Medtronics - wonder what they do?

Shot for sharing your experience!

I am pretty sure you wife knew she was going to lose you for a couple of hours as soon as that box arrived. And would bet money that she didn't mind a bit considering what it would do for the whole family!
