hello there im from the UK and also use the minimed insulin pump... i use a different infusion set (called silhouette) not quick set which is used in this video. u do not have to sleep with the pump attached as u can take it off and place a cap/cover on the bit what is stuck on the skin. (just like if u was to take a shower/bath. when wearing the pump it gives a very small background dose every hour (called basal rate) i have mine set to 0.2 unit per hour

Also how do you prevent the buttons from randomly being pushed by accident. You know like on a phone you have a lock to prevent pocket dialing. I am sure we will have the same questions and others when we see the nurse and learn how to use it, but sometimes it is nice to hear the truth from an actual user.

Thank you for this video. My husband is just waiting for his new paradigm to show up complete with wireless transmitter. He has been a fragile type 1 for 15 years now and this is new to him. Partly because of the health care plan we have now, we can afford this process. We are excited and nervous about it. His major concern is sleeping with it. How do you cope with that? Did it take you long to adjuct to it? He tosses and turns ALOT. It asked me to ask you that.

@pregovlog OMG! I never got notification of your message here?! I'm so sorry for not replying. As for coping with sleeping with it, it didn't really take long, and I just clip it to my shorts. If I don't I always end up tearing out the canula in my sleep. Regarding buttons accidentally getting pressed, that's never happened to me. I have a medtronic, and they've made pressing the buttons require a bit of pressure to they don't get pressed accidentally. So sorry I didn't reply sooner.
