In the first place I would like to apologize if I repeat theme (that surely yes) but the information I found after reading it was that it was from 2008 or that they resolved little ... and I wanted to see if you could solve some concrete doubts ....
For a little over a year I have been a carrier of a medtronic bomb 712 (put through social security) and for a while this part I was raising the possibility of getting a continuous meter, I know that I have to self -find this, and although I am more or less determined I would like to know your experience with it (which I have read in general seems good) and on the other hand more or less what was your experience when acquiring it, did you have to change yourBomb? (I think I remember that when they put it to me they told me that it was not compatible with the meter) and more or less total and relative expenses ... I suppose that would have to speak directly with the house ... but to have aidea, that if you leave too much I suppose I couldn't even consider it: S

Sorsha, subsidizing depends a lot on each autonomous community.Even within the same community, it depends on the hospital, although they certainly do not usually subsidize it.
For the rest, it sure does not take long and answers the other doubts.

Hello, it will surprise you what I am going to tell you, but where I live the meter and the sensors they subsidize the hospital.They gave them to me, and at first I was very happy, I saw the glucose in real, but little by little I burned, the sensors only coincide with blood glucose for 2 days the rest of the days (it lasted only 5 days) I continued error, and the bomb was constantly because it was when I said that I had it superb and I stopped the bomb automatically, and it was not true, but really, the most horrible was when I had to inject them, I only read themIn the belly, I did not serve me back, or in another place, so that the belly had it fatal.One day was the pain that I felt when I put it on, that my whole body was shaking, I had to take it away immediately and tell my endocrine that I returned it and I wouldn't wear one more !!My endocrine understood it, and he told me that by the end of this year the company was going to improve them and make them smaller, since it was not just me that had returned it. I use the pump I see from Paradigm.I hope you have helped you with my experience, it is already your decision to acquire it or not.

Thank you very much for telling us your experience, Paula.I have already got an idea.At the moment I think I am going to leave it, to see if as you say the catheters and the meters are perfected, and the Finanacian.In my autonomous community (Extremadura) they are not financed.And it is expensive, 1000 euros the minilink and 750 and each box of 10 catheters. I wanted to try it and as I said before I put it yesterday.Yes, the nurse hurt me.I am waiting to see the data and that.But come on that I think I disenchanted with the meter.They have answered me in another forum and they have also told me that it is not the panacea. I will tell you to see how on Monday when analyzing all the information collected.Thanks again.Greetings: p

Well, I, well my son, have a totally different experience from Paula's.My son is four years old, I see with the continuous meter, the truth is that it gives us a peace of mind that is priceless, well if 1000 Euracos plus the sensors 62 euros each, it is priced and quite expensive.My son lasts the sensor for a week or more, it is true that after five days he "dies" but you just have to connect it and work again.Of course, I have never put my son the sensor without anesthetic cream, I am not surprised that everything trembles, small needle!Regarding the reliability of the sensor, I think the key is to give it adequate calibrations, we do so, and almost always nail it or the differences do not exceed 15, that when the blood glucose shoots up or down the resultsThey differ more, but trend arrows do not deceive.My son now almost always carries him in his arm and works perfectly. I feel Paula, that I have not done well, maybe they did not teach you to use it correctly, I have had to look for life for forums in English, go that you had free ... by the way where you live that we live that weAre we going there?he he

Hello: I live in Barcelona and in the hospital they let me try 10 days the experience was positive how bad it must be calibrated every 12h and the battery lasts 3 days.It measures it in interstitial liquid and they did not tell me that the liquid goes 10 minutes later than in real time and when the sensor told me that I had 55mg really had 30 mg and I had a scare that I almost cost my life but I recommend itPeople who have severe hypos increasing the alarm at 80mg DL and what is useful are the arrows that indicate the speed of up and down, although the glucometer you cannot forget it is a complement. It is not subsidered costs about 2000e and the 80 E sensors and last 10 days if you place them well.I guess they will soon finance it although with the crisis to know.
