I have had no assistance with an URGENT ISSUE/PROBEM regarding a vital PATIENT PROGAMMER whose "On/off" switch does not work

I have from early this morning, under devastating tremor issue tried innumerable ways to get help from Medtronic
I have called Fleur Golding (their 'so called' main representative on 0407 077 155: she said she was too busy to help and told me to call 1800 652 972
I have several times tried calling 1800 652 972: I constantly get “only taking messages” responses. I have left several messages with absolutely no response from Medtronic
I then tried 180 668 670, they at least answered, but couldn’t help. They took a message.
I need a new/replacement PATIENT PROGAMMER URGENTLY. I have olive with destructive tremors and loss of balance
Unacceptable

I have been a t1d patient for 42 years and I have been on an untold amount of medications and devices over the years, some worked and some sort of worked. I've been with MiniMed for over 25 years and the last sentence covers the experience, There is no doubt that they have a great delivery platform. If I had been of a pump from the beginning, I would not, more than likely, have the amount of complications I have today.

All that being said, when MiniMed comes out with a new product while my insurance company, the insurance that I pay over a $1,000 a month for tear 1 plans, will not allow more than a 30 day supply for consumables. Minimed will not offer any work arounds or even offer to lower prices so you can buy extra in case of emergencies out of pocket. However, if you have no insurance or live in a foreign country they will offer a cash price with huge discounts. That doesn't sound like a big deal right, wrong.

The 30 day supply is for exactly that, 30 days. You have no surplus to fall back on if something goes wrong, especially if you are out of town or out of country, which has happened twice to me and was a nightmare. Talk about a mind scramble trying to figure away out of the situation and not end up in a hospital.

So in reality, the Extended 6 day infusion sets I have had so many problems with running out or even trying to get replacements it was just to insane to continue. I had to fall back to the 3 day infusion sets that only last 1 or 2 days. My insurance will actually cover 90 3 day infusion sets for a 3 month supply but not a 30 day supply +1 of the extended 6 day infusion sets.

This is even more insane, I'm having the same issue with the Instinct sensor. Insurance pays for 2, which is on paper 32 days. I can only leave town in the middle of the month because I have a spare to take with me.

Now I know what they tell you, "just call into support and they'll send you a replacement". Well, it is not nearly as easy as it sounds. For me, calling into support takes no less than 2 hours out of my day. Heaven help you if you opt in on the we'll call you back lie because I have never received a call back. So, I have to start all over again once I have conceded to being scammed and I call back and do it all over again.

A good example just happened today. I was out of town and my Instinct sensor alerted to "change sensor" just as I started a lunch meeting. I'm a pretty brittle diabetic so, just an hour without a sensor I shot up to 400+ and didn't even eat lunch. I didn't have a meter with me as it was a short day trip. I tried to request a replacement online during the meeting but was unable to because the "next" button was grayed out and was unable to continue any further.

I had to wait through my meeting and the trip home guessing my bolus gingerly as not to kill myself. I called MiniMed support, over an hour on hold and I finally gave up and opted for the callback, which I still have not received that call back.

I started reaching out to people trying to figure out how I'm going to get a replacement after getting home and starting a new sensor, my last sensor and it's the first part of the month. I finally reach someone who explained that the only option that will allow me to continue for the request was "my sensor fell off". Who in their right mind would have thought you had to lie to continue to receive a replacement without waisting hours on the phone trying to get through to support.

So a word to the wise, Medtronic is more interested in marketing, money and/or anything rather than truly help when you need it. I'm not just saying this out of frustration of today. Buyer be ware is all I can say.

Just remember, insurance companies want to kill you and doctors and vendors want to keep you alive to make mountains of money without one thought of you in the board room and they sleep just fine too.

Thank you and I hope this helps someone. Maybe their will be a class action lawsuit we can get in on for both. Good luck and choose your products wisely.

Don’t just leave Medtronic run away as fast as you can. Medtronic uses customer Service from the Philippines who are poorly trained and terrible English language skills. You will get no where with them

De insulinepomp van Medtronic is een echte ramp
Het ding is onbetrouwbaar en had nooit verkocht mogen worden

Recently my daughters pump failed in the middle of the night when we called your customer care line we got Chiqui Lisondra as our helper I just wanted to let you know that she was amazing and understood that getting my daughter a replacement pump that day was priority Chiqui Lisondra made it happen and kept me updated all the way
Chiqui Lisondra Thank you

Medtronic please give her the employee of the month award or something to celebrate her efforts

I have been trying to replace a bladder control device. This process has been going on for at least a month now. I admitted that I had lost my original that I had received. I jumped through all the hoops required to receive a new one. That process took a week. That was a month ago. And I called my insurance to make sure that it would be covered, and they yes it would. So problem there. My "cost share" will cover most if not all of my cap for the year) so that's good. But I still am waiting for the device. So still to make the appointment for the procedure that I need to move with out any pain. And no word from them when I might be receiving something from them. This is UNACCEPTABLE!

This company is beyond recovering. Despite positive, life-changing support for using the medtronic systems, customer service has been pissed-poor. I placed an order on Dec 5th, knowing that my health insurance was going to cover my supplies and received a confirmation only to receive my part of supply in Jan after I called to check the status of my order. I was billed for it and Medtronic said it was my problem.
The supply they sent couldnt be used with the part of the order they forgot to send.
I requested a refill on March 5th and was advised on March 12th that it was shipped only to be advised today after I called, that my order was returned for no reason.

Frustration with Medtronic sending me sensors I don’t need, only to have them not work and then refuse to take the back because “I’ve had them over 30 days”. Switching to DexCom. Good riddance.

I am extremely frustrated with my experience using the MiniMed 780G system and Medtronic’s customer support.

My pump has developed a crack on the back near the battery, and it is no longer functioning properly. In addition, the sensors have been unreliable, which is incredibly concerning given how critical this device is for daily health management.

For the past three weeks, I have been trying to reach technical support with no resolution. I have spent hours on hold—multiple times waiting over two hours—only to be disconnected. I’ve also selected the callback option on several occasions and never received a call. The automated message always says there is a high call volume, but there has been no follow-through.

I have sent emails as well and was told I would receive a call back, but that has not happened either.

At this point, I simply need a replacement pump, but I have been unable to get any meaningful assistance. This level of customer service is unacceptable, especially for a medical device that people depend on.

laden nur ärger und problem kann meine Bestellung nich aus der Packstation holen

Ich bin schon seit Jahren Kunde bei Medtronic (Typ1) und kann die negativen Rezensionen absolut nicht teilen.Es erweckt in mir, bei mancher Bewertung, den Eindruck:
„Wer in den Krümeln sucht, der wird auch finden“
Meine Erfahrungen mit Medtronic sind durchweg positiv.
Mein HBA1c-Wert ist hervorragend!
Das ist das Ergebnis mit der Insulin-Pumpe 780g und einem gesunden Lebensstils.
Vom Einreichen der Rezepte bis zum Gebrauch der Hilfsmittel vergebe ich, ohne schlechtes Gewissen,
5 STERNE!

Je word niet geholpen door de hulpdienst. Pomp geeft een verschil van 200 in waarden. Zender nieuw vervangen sensoren ook het probleem blijft. En mevrouw durft te zeggen ik zie geen probleem??

Ich (20) habe immer Libre Sensoren benutzt und war eigentlich auch immer recht zufrieden damit. Meine Diabetespraxis schlug mir den Medtronic Simplera Sensor vor, da er automatisch Vorschläge für Insulineinheiten geben soll und warnen, bevor der Zucker zu hoch ist. Ich muss leider sagen, dass ich gar nicht zufrieden bin :( Was mich am allermeisten stört ist, dass die Werte oft sehr von den Blutzuckerwerten abweichen. So muss ich ständig blutig nachmessen, um sicherzugehen. Oft zeigt der Sensor einen Wert von 130-180 an, obwohl der blutige Wert bei +-250 liegt. Ein weiterer großer Kritikpunkt ist, dass der Alarm viel zu leise und zu KURZ ist. Ich bin nachts oft mal zu hoch oder zu tief, und gerade nachdem ich Alkohol getrunken hab, bin ich auf diesen Alarm unbedingt angewiesen. Ich muss mir jede Nacht mehrere Wecker stellen, um meinen Wert zu checken:/ Ich habe den Sensor jetzt seit 1 1/2 Wochen und hoffe, dass ich schnell wieder zu Libre wechseln kann.

I am always having issues with CGM not pairing with pump. So I call tech support for the 3rd week in a row and this time was on hold 2hrs 16min before hanging up. Last Sunday was over an hour and the Monday before was over an hour and I had to hang up. TERRIBLE TECH SUPPORT WAIT TIMES... DO BETTER MEDTRONIC.

Ich bin seit 1995 Pumpenträger ! Einen solchen Schwachsinn habe ich bisher noch nicht erlebt !
Die App und der Blödsinn mit WeCare und Carelink und und und ist absolut nervig !!!
Den ganzen Schrott kann man nur als rudimentär in absoluter Vollendung bezeichnen !!
Echt armselig die ganze Medtronic Angelegenheit .
Und von der armseligen Geschichte was den neuen Sensor anbetrifft ( Simplera ) könnte man meinen es säßen Anfänger in einer Hinterhofgarage die versuchen so etwas zu entwickeln !!!
Andere Hersteller Abbott mit Freestyle Libre haben so etwas schon lange auf dem Markt ! So groß wie gerade mal 10 Cent !! Bei Medtronic hat man einen Sensor so groß wie ein Panzer und der muss auch noch mit einem großen Aufwand an Klebe Material befestigt werden !!
Alles in allem sehr Laienhaft !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Customer service is absolutely abiciml.

Vandaag een mail gekregen van de CEO dat ze op de beurs zitten en dat ze alles doen voor de customers en te luisteren. Ze zouden beter beginnen dat de app ondersteund wordt door de recentste android en Apple versies. I.p.v. Loze beloftes te doen via mails.

March 6th 7 pm MST. called tech support waited 15 min took option 1 for call back, waited an hour no response from tech support. called again waited 20 min on hold no answer again used option 1 for a call back. March 7th 8 am no call back from tech support. called Medtronic rep left msg outlining my concerns. March 8th sent Email to Medtronic tech support. was contacted by local Medtronic rep and was told my issue would be escalated. March 9th 8am still no contact from Minimed tech support. Great Job Minimed way to start off your departure from Medtronic.

I would have asked for a different brand of pacemaker if I knew that the Medtronic's App does not let me see my heart rate or heart rate history. My Abbott free style 3 allows me to see my data and adjust my eating to correct my Type II Diabetes.

Medtronic's' policy of not allowing the patient to see his/her health data is ridiculous. Seems we need a lawyer and a class action suit to correct this.

Are there any lawyers out there interested? Seems an easy lawsuit.

Please contact me.

Ice had the 780g several weeks now and the smart guard that the medical professionals and metronic insist on me using is useless when it comes to treatment of high sugars, it's hypo prevention also does not work as I now have several hypos a day due to it giving correction does when not required. The biggest issue is the sensor and yes I know a new one is coming out in the UK in the summer but going from a Libra to guardian 4 is a nightmare it's so outdated and a pain to install
