I was wondering if anyone knew of another place to purchase settings and resiviors for a MiniMed Paradgrim pump. Medtronic seems to have the market monopolized and was looking for price breaks or deals.

You would need to ask your insurance company. Many have restrictions about where you are allowed to get your supplies from. If you are not insured, you could just search the internet for 'medtronic insulin pump supplies' and you will find lots of suppliers who carry them.
Most of the diabetes supply websites do. Linda B. -------------------- Linda

You will find that most places online have inflated prices for Minimed supplies (and pump supplies in general) because those are the prices they use when submitting insurance claims. I have insurance coverage for my supplies so I haven't checked out many sites, but those I have seen (like Edgepark) had astronomical prices listed. I doubt you'll be able to find many bargains since Medtronic Minimed sets the price. -------------------- --

My previous insurance companies used Edgepark and CCS Medical but they had contracts with the insurance companies. Now that I have Medicare I use Medtronic. If I were paying out of pocket I would never use any supplier but Medtronic. -------------------- Arlene S.
