Question:

Please help. Urgent need for insulin pump infusion sets in Mesa, AZ?

My husband is on a business trip in Mesa, AZ, He wears a Paradigm 715 insulin pump, and discovered that he had left part of his infusion sets at home. He bought some NPH insulin and syringes at a pharmacy, but has used the pump for so long that it will be hard to adjust and keep his blood sugar at a good level. Can anyone tell me where he can get infusion sets for his pump in or near Mesa?

All good suggestions. He called Minimed first thing this morning. However, he can't guaranty that he will be in the same place tomorrow. I don't know if he asked about a local rep. We already checked pharmacies. They don't carry insulin pump supplies. However, he says he is doing OK with injections. He just does a lot of glucose tests to stay on top of it. By tonight he will know whether he can come home tomorrow or will have to stay longer. Then it will be Monday and there will be more options available.

My husband is able to come home today, and is doing OK with the shots, although he has had a few highs and lows. Now I'm hoping the airline will get him home soon. His flight had to be cancelled because something was wrong with the airplane. He was at the airport at noon, and doesn't expect to be home before 3 AM. (Normally a 3 hour flight.) Thank-you all for your help. They are all excellent answers, and will help the next time we find ourselves in this situation.
