Not as great as all the doctors think/

I am currently on the second Medtronic Minimed pump. The big issue that I have is that my first and not my second pump have both started to malfunction to the point that they can no longer be used within 10 days of my warranty expiring. Both times that I have had these issues and I call them they tell me that my warranty has recently expired and they can sell me a new one if I would like. This time I am done with Minimed. It is time to find another pump company. The continuous monitoring is very uncomfortable and most insurances do not cover the cost of them and they are VERY expensive.
