Well informed consumers or physicians would not choose Medtronic for CGM or HCL. Management using used car sales tactics, pressure, and brainwashing to increase numbers when they know this information is true. Lying through their teeth promoting worst in class, inferior products for profit. Frauds.

Used car sales tactics is right. When you have “executives” in insulin pump groups on Facebook commenting on posts encouraging people to consider Medtronic under the guise that they are a normal person, you know it’s past the point of no return. Even saw some responses encouraging people to check out a product that’s not even approved in the US yet…probably never will be with those kind of antics. Fuckin amateur hour.

The division breeds, grooms, and rewards those with no sales skills or real experience that can hack sitting at their computer desk all day for nine hours with their head up their ass believing that there’s room for growth for these poor products. Just to get promoted into a cushy management role so they can do the same. Everybody that works in the division only knows “Medtronic diabetes”- with no idea of how an actual device/biotech sales organization is supposed to operate. This is why good people leave as soon as they see what goes on.

It’s that time to start calling patients to get them to upgrade their old out of warranty insulin pumps. Instead of actually workings with health care providers let’s stay home and be telemarketers. I know those buttons are sticking and unresponsive. Who cares if you have Medicare and still can’t get our CGM. We expect CGM approval any day now (for the last 3 years). Let me transfer you to San Antonio where they’ll ask you the same questions all over again. No we still can’t get you a CGM with Medicare. Out previous leadership didn’t think Medicare business was profitable and didn’t want the best care for older patients. Commercial insurance is where the big dollars are. Pricking your finger multiple times per day is really about safety not convenience. During our training we are taught to really make it hurt, literally.

Any chance 780 saves us? It’s feeling like it’s time to find a new company. Competitors taking more and more market share.

no chance 780 saves anything…won’t launch until Q1 fy23 and still won’t have no finger sticks…if you aren’t actively trying to abandon this sinking ship, I hope you know how to swim.
 








folks are doing great with tandem/dexcom that are locked in warranty. why switch?? too much work to change companies when the strong results/brand are there, for what- with a slight a1c improvement? install base has long moved on with the exception of the bottom feeding that MDT has been preying on for the last few years. outsource to distributors for the bottom rung orders that still come in- get rid of TMs, switch to virtual tech support as CTMs and hire a handful of CPTs in each geography for people who can't do virtual. rebrand and enhance inpen with a good salesforce and fight for reimbursement to go up- can't survive on 35/yr co-pay (for most orders with medicare & medicaid) or even 600/yr commercial when reimbursed to generate significant revenue (or sell inpen all together to Lilly). NC and all of the micromanagers can go run another company into the ground
