hi -
i start my pumping on monday and i only received my sensors today (i've had the pump sitting in my room since april and when i spoke to my nurse yesterday we realized that medtronic forgot to send me the sensors...)
anyways, question is, it came in a styrofoam fridge thing and the girl mentioned how these do NOT need to be fridged anymore, is that right? or should i still keep them in the fridge?

thanks!

How did the start of your pumping go , and did you get an answer on if the sensors need to be kept cool ? I start my CGMS tomorrow .

Even though the new sensors don't "have" to be kept in the fridge, I still keep mine there just to be on the safe side.

the nurse who trained me, said they didn't have to be....
and my 'experience' is listed in the other thread 'starting my pump tomorrow!'
