That's would be a great idea, but I'm sure its somehow a FDA requirement to print the material being a prescription medical supply. Maybe develop package inserts based on geography. Maybe North/South America would be a region to include French, Spanish, English, etc

@@thatdiabetesguy9652 From what I have read, the full instructions aren't 100% necessary for all devices (granted I didn't read the multitude of pages for every case). I think it would be worth it to either recheck current regulations or lobby congress to allow 21st century technology solutions to the label requirements. I get several boxes of these every year (for 2 decades) and I am pretty sure I no longer require directions in every box.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that would be awesome to share future products for everyone!

I just had another set disconnect save at Home Depot when the tubing got stuck on shelf item... I need to invest a little more time taping a coil of extra tubing to my skin :)

Great to hear! I've heard from my patients that were on the original Mio, the local DME supply company would utilize the rest of their stock and automatically switched to Mio advance. Original Mio's are no longer in production.

Oh no! That sucks and happens to the best of us. One tip is to wrap a small coil of tubing next to the infusion set insertion site and tape tape the coil down (Tegederm or IV3000). So when you pump fall out or gets caught on anything, it will pull at the coil of excess pump tubing/tape before it pulls at the infusion insertion site. Thanks for sharing your recent incident.

Wait, you're not supposed to just force the connector to cooperate?! Kidding aside, that's an awesome point!

Thanks Mary for your feedback. You bring up a significant point that not every diabetes technology is a perfect fit for everyone. Obviously, with your experience, you have found out what works for you. As for others who haven't had many years utilizing various technologies, I would suggest reaching out to your local diabetes educator/provider, call a local clinical pump rep, or ask your medical supply company to see if you could get a few samples of various infusion sets to see which design works best for your lifestyle. If you utilize taping an extra loop of tubing to your skin before the infusion set, the disconnect feature should not be an issue. If anyone prone to tossing and turning during the middle of the night (really anyone who wears an infusion set), I would consider securing an extra loop of tubing tapped against your skin to be the primary point of resistance if the tubing gets excessively pulled on.

Thanks for sharing Paul! I saw the new Medtronic infusion sets at ADA scientific meeting in 2019 and thought it was an interesting concept. All they did was added a small filter in the beginning of the tubing connecter that filters out insulin "impurities" that reduce site inflammation that causes delayed insulin absorption. To be honest, I'm a little skeptical of the insulin absorption data. When I asked the design engineer he couldn't elaborate what "insulin impurities" that was being filtered out. I would be interested in reviewing the product if you would be gracious enough to share a couple when you get them. I could send you replacement infusion sets to last you a few weeks and pay for any shipping too. Thanks for sharing your tips and watching the video!

Since I first started using my first Medtronic pump 10 years ago, I always keep my infusion set in for 7 days and I reuse my reservoir 3 times. My HgbA1C is 5.9 so I don't think it is a problem. I use the SureT infusion set so I don't know if that makes a difference.

@@thatdiabetesguy9652 could the impurities be what I call tubing dust that can cause cancer? Just a thought.

Yes, it happens quite often to me. The old Mios, in my opinion, are very unreliable in fitting and I have had them fail three times in a row, seriously affecting my blood sugars. I am hoping that the new Advance will help. It certainly fits easily. However, I found it less easy to remove for exercise and in fact it came out, wasting the cannula. Luckily in the UK these are free so no cost to me, but I hate the waste. And the hassle. I have had two pumps. To me, the Medtronic design is a great pump let down by a very unsatisfactory insertion process (here's hoping for the Advance!). It was my first pump (well actually i used some experiemntal pumps in the 1980s but my first pump since then). Eventually I changed to another pump - by Accu-Check. This was because of the number of failed insertions I was getting, which really hit my results. The Accu-Check was awesome in insertion but the pump itself was considerably less good. So I returned to the Mio. Things had not moved on - until the Advantage, but I am still happy to have returned. But come on guys, if one of you (Accu-check) can deliver insulin safely and reliably, why not Medtronic? So a lot hangs on the Advantage for me. Just in closing (first time on the site - thanks for the review!) this week marked my 50th anniversary on insulin. I entered hospital on 11 Jan 1972, which itself was the 50th anniversary of the world's first insulin injection. My first injection, aged 17, was on 12th January 1972, with today being the 16th January 2022, so I have just entered the cadre of patients who have benefited from insulin therapy for more than half its life. it has kept me alive and healthy and I am so very, very grateful. Good luck to all of you - it can work out!

@@davidballard2829 Thank you for your reply! Congrats on your 50 years on insulin! That's very encouraging. I appreciate your sharing. I hope the MiniMed Mio Advance works well for you. I've managed to switch back to it and it works well for me. :) Happy and healthy 2022 !
