Medtronic Urgent Device Correction

Anyone concerned about this latest message from Medtronic? (re: how far away you wear the pump away from the infusion site)

I haven’t noticed any problems. Sometimes I have an infusion site on my upper back and I have 23” tubing so that I can wear my pump in my leggings thigh pocket. I guess I’ll just keep doing what I do and keep an eye on it.

I haven’t received this notification yet, but it seems really dumb to me. If one needed to place the site at the same level as where one wear the pump, that would drastically limit site rotation. But then, this is the same company that developed a CGM that requires two hands to insert but insists it should be worn on the back of the upper arm.

Anyway, as far as I can tell, I’ve had no problems with over/under delivery no matter where my site is in relation to where my pump is.
