[QUOTE="AmandaD, post: 1427469, member: 199116"] I use the 640g with the enlite sensor and have to say the low suspend did my head in. Like you it would suspend and I would wake up sky high so I switched it off. I now use the alert before low alarm and suspend on low. I wear my sensor on my arm wearing on my stomach guarantees it fails within 24 hrs. It will only kick back on after being in low suspend if it detects your blood sugar rising at a certain rate which normally after being suspended for two hours is too late and the rise is too much. You can restart your basal at any time during the suspend. Are the alarms waking you up?? When I had low suspend switched on the alarms would always wake me up and I'd check my blood sugar and if low correct with dextrose tabs wait ten mins or so and then switch my basal back on, it sometimes would suspend when I wasn't low at all or even close to being low.
