Medtronic / Bayer Contour Next Link

Hello everyone

I'm not sure if you've seen this from Medtronic.It has been presented in the US, but I thought I was going to publish a link here.

Bayer Contour Next Link is now a Medtronic Standard
Link ... ronic.html

I am trying to find out if this will be available in Spain soon!Hopefully yes!

I'm sorry if there are some mistakes with my Spanish, I'm trying to learn.

Greetings, Mike

Hi Mike

In Spain, the Contour Link glucometer already communicates with the pump and with the continuous meter, but so far it only communicates the results of the blood glucose through radiofrequency to any of the 2 devices (Medtronic's pump or continuous sensor)

The new version that you tell us (Contour Next Link) seems that from the same glucometer you can order the bolus to the pump ...

Here we had some comments on low reliability in the glycemia results of the contour link:

I read somewhere that Medtronic was thinking of buying the Bayer Diabetes Division.

Oh!Owash, I hope you say and the glucometer serves as a "remote control" but I read the news in English, and I think it's not about that (although to trust my English: Mrgreen:), I think it's the same glucometerthat the USB contour but that transmits to the bomb just like the contour link.It is smaller, more modern, it has light, colors, USB connection and that ... a glucometer.

Well, you're right and I understood badly ... Then it would be the contaur USB but connected to a pump and sensor, without further performance.

I sent an email to Bayer and they told me that they had no idea when I would arrive in Spain,
As I have been able to read right now in the news of MikeinsPain says that it is compatible with the
Minimed Paradigm Real-Time Revel, and for the moment in Spain the Revel has not arrived,
The last one we have is the I see.So I will arrive when the pump Revel I imagine, and I think
I did not serve as a remote control but it is like the contour link but more modern for a bomb
More modern hehe

I have just been provided with the Coutour Next USB: D I get home (so happy to release a new apparatus) I configure but the surprise is that when I put a strip the boat that I have open tells me tira does not validate and I: shock: they justTo say that if it is worth then I look at the box and put "only for Next strips" have I gone to see?And they have told me that they have been given to be given to us
I wonder what will happen;that they will change the strips or that they did not know what to do with the things they had in the warehouse, or that they will stop Suminsitra that type of strips as I have read in another place in this forum .....
By the way I thought it communicated with the bomb but not because it is not "link":-/

Hello everyone

I do not find out, but those who wear the Medtronic pump do not have the glucometer Q at the same time that calculates the dose of insulin sends the order via bluethoot to the pump to inject it?

Not only sends the result of blood glucose and it is not for Bluetooth is on radiofrequency or something like this.
If I had echoed, I was thinking about a smaller and smaller glucometer compatible with the pump.The strip is put, which does not illuminate much) but to see how you click your finger in the dark the only thing that I have achieved is a prick for alternative places and ask for a long time it is something else that I use it
