This is redicioulis why not have an option of having the canular inserted using a infusion set inserter instead of doing this manually. Especially if you have neuropathy in my fingers like I have 😢😮🙄
This is very tedious. I was about to opt for this device then saw many videos and met people using this mechanism. 1. Cost of device is prohibitively high. 2. The consumables are not readily available and you have depend on the OEM and their services are sub par in villages and remote areas. 3. No idea how to give 2 types of insulin in the same machine i.e long and short acting. There seems to be only 1 reservoir. 4. For people taking multiple dosage of 2different insulin. The cost of consumables also becomes high compared to pen type delivery. 5. The pen type insulin were supposed to be kept at a specific temp. as they become ineffective if kept beyond the permissible temp. I dont know how the insulin in this machine is kept at that low temp.
Hi there, thank you for this feedback. We'll be sure to share this with the team. In regards to #3, When using an insulin pump like the MiniMed 780G system, only one kind of insulin is needed. The insulin pump uses only rapid acting insulin (similar to what a 'real' pancreas does), and drips it in all day long in very small doses. The pump gives bigger doses, or a bolus (a bolus for a 'bowl' of food), when you eat, so that you no longer need to take a long acting insulin. For all other questions, we recommend you speak with your HCP to determine the best therapies for you.
I have been using the “Mio” for years , so simple
