Are Medtronic CGM sensors programmed to die unpredictably early and always when I should be sleeping or am sleeping, and can't put in another till the next day? Usually the evening cause I gotta like work during the day. It's so much fun being forced back to blood tests on a device that is renown for being prone to hypoglycaemic events.

Thousands sign petition against Pharmac plan to change insulin pump funding

An insulin pump used by thousands is losing funding, and families fear the replacement does not work well enough and they will be forced to fork out tens of thousands of dollars for one that does.
