Abbott and the Navigator
Still no transmitter.
However, today brought at least some information. In my frustration, I launched a search in Europe for the unit. They do, in fact, exist over there, at least in the UK. However, the Abbott rep suggested that shipping one to the US would not be a good idea, because "shipping in the low pressure low temperature environment of an airplane would irreparably damage the unit".
Interesting.
He then went further to suggest that there should be a shipment of these destined for US shores on a ship somewhere. He was rather surprised to hear of the inventory issue in the US though, as it had the largest client base. Seems like Abbott UK is siloed from Abbott Diabetes Care in the US.
I am considering flying out to the UK to pick one up in person. I am also considering a class-action. Anyone interested in that?
