Insulin Pump Supplies

[magieJ]

I have just changed from the minmed 508 pump to the minmed paradigm (512)and have supplies remaining for the 508 pump. These are factory sealed, unused but not compatible with the new pump. If anyone has a need for these supplies please respond.

Thank you for you information (JDRF) on the donation of 508 insulin pump supplies.  I also have MANY-MANY box of unopened infusion sets and syringes to donate.  I also went on a 512 pump recently.  TLC

Maggie,
What a kind offer!  Because we are not allowed to post any personal contact information on this site, I have some other recommendations for where you can donate your sterile, unused pump supplies.

In your local area, look for a chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the same group that sponsors this website on Med Help.  JDRF staff are in contact with many families for whom your supplies would be such a valuable gift.  You might also enjoy participating in one of their support groups where you could offer the supplies yourself.

Or talk with your endo to see if you can have him/her donate those supplies to a needy family s/he is caring for.

Best of luck with your new pump. They're getting better & better!
