@undeuxtrois@piaille.fr I'm going to have to go with English, sorry – but wanted to share. My daughter is also T1D, as am I – though I have opted to stay with manual care with pens and pen needles. She has a Minimed pump, I'd recall it is also the model 780.
One time my wife was away with our daughter and she needed a refill, but my wife had forgot to pack reservoirs.
We held an emergency MacGyvering phone call and managed to fill the used reservoir with a pen needle that my wife happened to have on her. We simply used the pen needle in lieu of the needle part that comes with a new reservoir. Catastrophe averted, worked a charm.
