    Diabetes Feedback: I’ve never used this one before, but the larger one looks similar to the Silhouette, so you just pinch the sides and pull gently. You can call the Minimed help desk at 1-800-646-4633 and they’ll walk you through it.

    Diabetes Feedback: I use the Sure T as well you disconnect where your tubing is closest to your pump. From that point there is a small amount of tubing to your insertion site. If you are still confused call the toll free number on the back of your pump they will answer all your questions and guide you through everything. Best of luck.
