They don't have the infrastructure to manage everything that comes along with taking care of patients. As you know the Cozmo pump just went bye bye and that has left 26,000 pumpers wondering what next. Medtronic has a patch coming and I have seen it!!! All I can say is SWEEEEEET!

At 9:04am on April 16, 2009, Isaac Gornichec said…: I would have to disagree about the Dexcom. Though it's great for continuous monitoring it still falls short when compared to Medtronic CGM in clinical trials. There was a trial called STAR 1 that kicked Dexcoms butt. I agree that it's important that people find what works for them and that they use the device to keep healthy. I do know a few folks that have Medtronic pumps and Dexcom systems. Not many but a few.
