Re: OTP: Need some calming purrs

While I have had no problems with the way the device works, some of the
parts seem not well designed. It took them and extra year to get the FDA to
approve their body worn processor (an option to the behind the ear processor
where everything including the battery pack hangs from your ear) It works
but the design and implementation leave a lot to be desired. I'm sure this
is the result of an attempt to make something like a profit in a very
limited market.

I've had a similar experience with a brand of insulin that could only be used with a specific pen that ran on batteries. You couldn't change the batteries, so had to get a new pen every two years or so. Well, I get the pen for free because our national health insurance pays for them, but it still made me mad that they should design this pen this way. All that waste! And the battery function was completely unnecessary, anyway. And the pen was very badly designed in every way. You could never be quite sure how much insulin you'd actually injected with it, and often the plunger wouldn't plunge, and I had to inject several times before it worked.

But now I've changed to another brand of insulin that goes into a good old mechanical Novo pen, which will last for years and years. I hope they are working on those cables to make them last longer. Lots of soothing purrs on the way to you. Would it be possible to order a larger set of the cables, so you could have an emergency store?
