Hi all, I’ve been a Medtronic user for around 18 years. (Currently on 670g & Libre 2) I’m due a new pump next month and was excited to get onto closed loop. My hospital only offers Medtronic and Omnipod/dexcom.
After doing a lot of research the system I know would be best for me is the T slim/dexcom. I constantly tweak basal settings,l to get the best results and I don’t think the Omnipod algorithm would be best for this. I’ve tried the Guardian sensors before and I absolutely hated them! So much so that I’d rather stay off closed loop for a while if that’s my only option.
I wanted to ask if anyone has somehow successfully got a pump by changing hospitals? Or in any other way? Whatever I choose I obviously have to live with for 4 years, and I’d really love to be able to get the technology which works best for me!
(I know we all would, and I do understand how lucky I am to even be offered this technology on the nhs, and I’m not complaining, just want to try my best!)
