From: Marshall on 15 Sep 2006 11:50 Just received my new Paradigm. First thing I see is PARADIGMPAL software. A. This software will not work on the MAC OS B. How much pump function will I lose if I do not use this software? C. Has anyone tried it on Virtual PC (if so what did you need in terms of cables etc.?) -- http://bergenbulldogradio.blogspot.com/

I have an Animas, so I can't help you. I don't use the software that comes with my pump because AutoControl Medical (the CDN distributor) are ripoff artists and the markup is too high. I have no problems except I do have to do some paper record keeping. Vicki

You won't lose any functionality if you don't use the ParadigmPAL software, just convenience. The primary function of the software is to let you save pump settings on a computer and upload/download them to the pump. You can read/write all the settings directly on the pump without using a computer at all. I haven't used Virtual PC, so I don't know if it would work with ParadigmPAL. I don't think you'd need any additional cables, since the software should include the required USB cable. It's kind of a complicated connection: USB from computer to the Paradigm Link BG meter and then a wireless link between the meter and the pump, but it seems to work reliably.
