medtronic

Hi all - have had the Medtronic 780G now for 4 weeks, and overall I've been super impressed with it. However, there are a couple of issues with it which I'm struggling with. I don't know if they are due to something I need to tweak, or whether the pump is still learning about me and I just need...

Hi, I'm upgrading from the Medtronic 640g and was just about sold on the 780g when my educator told me about the Ypsomed. It's a bit more difficult to find reviews and info so what are your experiences with it? Specifically with the closed loop system, auto-bolus, alarms, etc. Are there any...

Hi guys First time posting here, I appreciate any input. I have been type 1 diabetic since 2015, been on an insulin pump since 2018 (medtronic 640g), now my warranty has expired and I am due an upgrade. I currently use novorapid in medtronic 640g pump with minimed mio advance cannulas and use...

Hi, I've just gone onto the medtronic e-shop to order my (NHS-funded) consumables as I always do, and the prices are showing (usually they aren't) and it's saying I need to pay for my order. Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me? Thanks :)

Hi all, and a very merry Christmas, my first post here! I’m trying to choose a pump for hybrid closed loop, and have decided that the Medtronic 780g would be best for me. The only sticking point at the moment is that the Guardian 3 CGM gets many bad reviews. I’ve been told by the time I start...

Hi all, I’m on the Medtronic 670g and spend >95% in auto mode. I do really like the pump but have had issues with the Sensor 3 (and Enlite before that). Just thought I’d share tips on how to prevent bleeding and improve the sensor experience: 1) Must do: put pressure on the sensor after...

Hi all, I've posted about this before but I'm really at the end of my tether with this. Each time I do a set change I get high blood sugars; today it was up to 17.7 today from 9.7. I've changed from Mio Advance to Sure-T today to test it and that's when I got the 17.7. The consultant thought...

Hi, 1st time here. Looking for any guidance on apps to help manage type 1. I am on a Medtronic 640G Pump with a CGM which I upload to Carelink. I am looking to find a way to have my CGM data along with food/exercise info in one place so I have the full picture. Any advice would be appreciated...

Hiya, just wondering if anyone has come across similar/ knows how to fix it: I have found especially recently that when i remove a pump site i am left with a little red dot where the site was, which is fine but they seem to last a lot longer than they used to! I have found that especially...

Does anyone know what happens with the warranty if you get a replacement pump from Medtronic? I got my 640g in 2016 and had to have it replaced in 2018 because of a fault, I'm confused about whether I need a new pump this year because the warranty of the original 640g runs out, or do I need a...

Hi all, I lived in Argentina all my life and I have a medtronic 640g pump. I recently moved to the US and they told me they are going to replace my pump for a "US Pump". The representative told me over the phone that they will be giving me a 630g pump, that is essentially the same as the one...

Hi! All of you who have been using Medtronic 670G, I have actually two questions for you: Have you reached better results / levels / balance with your glucose with the 670? Answer to this in the Poll above. Is 670 your first pump or have you used some other pump(s) earlier? Answers to this to...

Hey! I'm looking for good insurers for an annual cover that will cover my Medtronic 640G (approx. £3485), winter sports and good medical cover! Does anyone have any recommendations because my search is currently coming up dry. Thanks in advance!

Greetings! I am the mother of a 14-year-old type 1 diabetic. She was diagnosed at the age of 4 in 2009. We switched to the Medtronic 640g pump a couple of years ago and are facing a recurring issue that has been getting worse recently - cannula adhesion! Over the past few weeks - and more than...

The other day at my endocrinologist appointment he mentioned that new Medtronic pumps have an unalterable set range of BSL. The range was something like 3.3 to 7.0 mmol/l. Of course the lower figure was concerning to him because of car driving regulations and the risk of hypos to the patient in...

Hi guys, I am in the process of upgrading my insulin pump on the NHS and of the list of pump potions I have narrowed my choices between the omnipod and the Medtronic 640G. I wondered if anyone had been on either of these and had some reviews for me, I am unsure which would be better. Also...

I've been on a pump for 10 years. Currently using a Medtronic 640, and have decided to self fund CGM to tighten up my control. I've read some old threads that say the Medtronic CGM isn't that reliable. Wondering whether to go with standalone freestyle libre. Any experience, advice out there I'd...

Hello everyone ! I own Paradigm 722 Medtronic pump with CGM Can I delay calibrating my Enlite Sensor with Meter BG, without being woken up by alarms ? After inserting new sensor i kind of miscalculated my insulin dose, and it's pretty late at night.

Hi everyone, First of all I’d like to say this is my first post here and that I live in Belgium, which is why apologize in advance for any grammar or spelling mistakes. I’ve been into this issue for a few weeks, but haven’t found anyone else that goes through the same problems with the...

Unsure if this is the right place but I find forums so confusing! I recently upgraded my pump but have 2 unused clips, an unused silicone cover and a used leather flip cover for a Paradigm Veo (I think) insulin pump that is FREE to anyone who wants them, if you wanna message me or something, I...
