Choosing a different pump

by Lorraine
(Encino, Ca.)

I am looking to replace my Paradigm 715 model due to continuous air gaps in the tubing resulting in numerous high glucose numbers. It is common to go to bed with an excellent number and test at 3 am and find myself over 300. Customer Service has replaced my pump twice with a duplicate rebuilt unit, tried different infusion sets and I met with a seasoned Trainer who asserted I was doing everything basically correct. The air gap problem has not been resolved and I do know about their major recall on insertion sets due to this exact problem. I don't think the air gap issue is truly fixed and more manufacturing plants need inspection.
