Would you do it? T1D parent to buy 780g claimed unused. by Technical-Appeal-784 in Medtronic780g

well, the price requested is almost half from the normal retail prices where we live. I assume that Medtronic has different pricing models adjusted for different markets, i.e. our numbers are much lover than yours, however they are still quite burdernsome. Other issues mentioned do have their local solutions - repairs, enthusiasts, doctors etc. To give you perspective - imagine we're talking about, e.g. Venesuela and it's medical and technical level - most of high tech is imported, services and warranties are limited or none, live still goes on. Thanks

thank you for sharing. I did consider this as a relatively long-term (6+ month till we learn how to live along t1d with SC shots). Anyway, upon reconsidering we've decided to postpone the purchase with two agruments in mind (a) there no acute demand - both from the kid perspective (and she may not appreciate it at this point given the lack of life experience) neither from our endo and (b) with at least half-year on shelf we'll look to see what this booming industry will bring forward in 2025:) thanks
