The only good thing in that line of rubbish is the apparent confirmation of what was earlier suspected; That buyers have no further options once the timers run down.
Page 159 of the Spirit Reference manual, states:
"Contact Pump Support @ 1-800-688-4578 to discuss your options for further use of the Accu-Chek Spirit insulin pump"
That statement is a line of bull designed to deceive. The only option available to the end user is to go back to syringes or buy a new insulin pump. There are
no options for further use of this pump based on the above quoted statement.
No notice in their marketing materials and apparent deception in their reference materials. Disgusting.
