    Hi All
    Has anyone read or know anything about the Medtronic 7 day infusion set?
    I would be keen.

    Very intersting Donna. Thank you for the link. 
    I have not heard anything. I presume it will take a while for it to be released here.
    Great that it saves plastic. I wonder how much the NDSS will charge for it.

    Also wonder how they will fit it to an existing pump with its capacity of 3ml. 

    Suspect that the 7 day thing still means refills during the 7 days perhaps
    using an injector of some kind.
    regards
    David

    Hi Donna,

    That does sound very helpful. Not having to change sets as often as we currently have to, would be a big advantage. I wonder how it fares on scar tissue? The image has the text that the adhesive patch is "skin friendly" but it does not mention what the cannula is like that is inserted subcutaneously, which is where many people have reaction issues too. 

    It will be interesting to see the feedback once introduced into  the Europe countries they mention in the article.
