While I have had no problems with the way the device works, some of the

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?


Not at $300 each.

They are hardwired to the coil that attaches to the scalp. A $300 part that
keeps breaking because of a 10 cent wire.
