yeah there has been a sudden explosion of info on it since June 1st when the pump was released. Medtronic sent me the information by post when I dropped them an email but now I see all of it appears on the completely re-vamped website. Its a great machine, better look and better screen and the CGM insulin suspension in the media is being called "the artificial pancreas". Its just blooming unfortunate I dont get the CGM function.
In the bumf medtronic sent me was some pricing if your clinic doesnt suport you having the CGM (must be common?!) and it is ?700 for the start up pack and "then only" (!) ?6.50p per day! I love the "only" bit! You must be kidding me! Thats the same price as a heavvy smoking habit of 20 a day! I cant afford that, but not only that, it recommends 2 calibration finger tests a day and in my world I might as well just forget it.
Great pump though. I was told I will be the 6th person in Europe to have one, and that is in a months time. How on earth can this be?! Surely a heck of a lot of people are about to get them??!
