00:00 - 00:05So Nicky got a new pump.
00:05 - 00:07Everyone says it the next best thing!
00:07 - 00:10They told her it can automatically adjust your insulin
00:11 - 00:16based on your blood sugar.
00:17 - 00:21And she believed them!
00:21 - 00:24She thought it was true!
00:29 - 00:31True!
00:31 - 00:34She really thought it was true!
00:38 - 00:40Always adjusting her basal....
00:41 - 00:47by turning it off!
00:47 - 00:50And it doesn't even tell you
00:50 - 00:56that it is doing it!
00:58 - 00:59Yes, it was approved....
00:59 - 01:01to stop giving you insulin!
01:04 - 01:06Who needs insulin?
01:06 - 01:08Sorry Nicky, not you!
01:13 - 01:14We give you insulin
01:14 - 01:16only when we want!
01:16 - 01:20And we don't ever tell you.
01:21 - 01:27The way you find out
01:35 - 01:36is when your sensor
01:36 - 01:39says you are too high!
01:41 - 01:44So this new pump,
01:44 - 01:47you wear it like this
01:47 - 01:49on your hip.
01:50 - 01:53Just like any other pump.
01:54 - 01:56But this pump,
01:56 - 01:58is not really like any other pump,
01:58 - 02:02because it will STOP giving you insulin
02:05 - 02:07whether you need it...
02:10 - 02:11or not!
02:11 - 02:13And if you go to 300
02:15 - 02:17and call them to complain...
02:17 - 02:20they just say it's your fault!
02:21 - 02:28You must be doing something wrong!
02:29 - 02:30You...
02:30 - 02:32have made a mistake!
02:36 - 02:39But we will send you...
02:40 - 02:42send you a new sensor.
02:50 - 02:55Oh thanks, Medtronic!
02:56 - 02:58A new sensor fixes everything!
02:58 - 03:04I guess now we will no longer will have to
03:04 - 03:09worry about global warming,
03:09 - 03:11as long as we get a new sensor!
03:16 - 03:20So this thing, they call it "Auto" Mode.
03:23 - 03:26But really they should call it
03:31 - 03:36"Screw You" Mode!
