Which, if any, insulin pumps on the market have pre-filled cartridges?
I have been a Type I Diabetic for over a decade now, and I have just recently started the process to getting a pump. I'm leaning toward the t: slim G4 from Tandem, however you have to load insulin into the cartridge. It's the strangest thing I have ever seen - as I view the t: slim as the iPhone of insulin pumps - so why are they using this outdated system? Is it FDA approved to have pre-filled cartridges? What pumps use them?
I just worry that it will be time consuming every few days to fill one up, and ensuring there are no air bubbles can be a little annoying at times - much less filling three 100-unit syringes and injecting it into a cartridge.
When I met with the rep and expressed my concern she quickly stated they didn't want to sell a bad cartridge or "guarantee" that it the pre-filled was safe to use.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! If you use a pump that requires you to fill manually, please let me know how that goes for you and the experiences that come along with it.
The only company in the US to date that has ever receive FDA approval for a pump with pre-filled cartridges was Asante Solutions, maker of the Snap pump. It was on the market for 2 years until the company went out of business in 2015. There are a couple of companies that market in the US and overseas have approval to sell pre-filled cartridges. Hopefully those companies are working on similar cartridges to sell in the US.
None - you have to keep insulin refrigerated and safe in the original bottles - it would get contaminated being stored in ab cartridge

- Other section on iPhone 4s filled? I have a month old iphone 4s 16gb. I have 392 songs. I have 441 pictures. I got a message saying my storage is almost full and when I plugged in my phone it says all my storage is taken up by "other"… About 9.52 gb. I googled what to do and it told me to restore my phone and when I restored it the other section just grew bigger, even after it deleted all of my apps, What do i do?
