  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Diabetes/pump supplies - please take them

My younger daughter just got an insulin pump. They sent her some infusion sets that won't work for her because she's too thin. The needle and cannula go straight in and she doesn't have enough body fat for that. We had to open one box for our training and then found out we couldn't use them and we can't return them after opening. Each individual set is still in it's sealed package. It's the t:90 infusion set. Daughter's pump is a Tandem, but my understanding is that infusion sets are not specific to pump brand. We also have a One Touch Verio IQ meter looking for a home. Brand new, never used. Neither of my girls use that meter because our insurance covers much better for the AccuChek. The Verio uses strips specific to that meter. You can't use just any One Touch strip, so that might make a difference to someone.

I can't find any takers locally, even through our endo's office. I thought I'd see if anyone here can use either of these things, or knows someone that can. No charge. You just have to wait until after the 7th of January for me to send them. I've posted this somewhere else too, so first person to contact me can have them. Please ask around. The box of infusion sets is over $100 for a person without insurance and I want someone to get some use from them.

This is awesome, hope you can find a taker.
