Seems the pump is doing its job, levels much better the last couple of days. Thank you for your replies.

Thanks Nicola for your reply. I have a Libre [emoji638] with me but I don’t think it works with the [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]g. Otherwise...

Hi Has anyone had experience of the Medtronic 780 g with Simplera smartguard, when ill or away on holiday and levels are around 15-20 mmol, on my 640g I used to set a temporary basal of 25-50%extra to combat high levels. I don’t know how to increase the basal without taking smartguard off. I...

I’m on the 780g with Simplera sync using Novorapid and often used the dual bolus on the 640g pump. I found the dual bolus useful if eating pasta etc . Now my levels drop after meals as the food seems to take longer to process. However I find the Smart Guard excellent, except the Simplera only...

Dexta , thanks for your reply, I’m hoping it’s just a bedding in issue. Before the Simplera I was on the Guardian [emoji639] and the Libre [emoji638] before that. The first [emoji639] Simplera were spot on. Have to see if it Syncs.

Hi, hope you are well! Been on the Medtronic 780g for 3 weeks. Changed the Simplera sensor today, after the 2 hour warm up the sensor read 21.1 I did 3 BG tests and I was 14.1. I kept putting in the BG readings manually, but it keeps reverting to a higher reading. Now showing 18 on the smart...

Thank you Searley for your reply. I always get out the pool on the low side as the class is pretty full on and I take sips or orange juice during the class. I’ll try a small bolus when I get out the pool, see how that goes. Appreciated.

Hi all, I’ve been on the Medtronic 780g with Simplera for 2 weeks, previously I was using the Medtronic 640g pump with Guardian 3. I’ve been on a pump for 12 years. I do an Aqua fitness class twice a week and previously I used to set a temporary basal rate decreasing the basal to 75% 45...

I tend to change the infusion sets around 3 days.

Do you get loss of signal a fair bit. Yesterday I was out at my daughters and the system kept losing signal.

Thanks searley, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately as it was during the night, I left it until the morning. It’s all running now this sensor will go the 7 days.

Hi Nicole M, I’m on the Medtronic 780g closed loop and have been using my legs for my cannulas for a long time. I find it works well, but I wear the pump on a waistband round my waist ( stomach doesn’t work well for me) and the normal 1.8 reservoirs. I’ve only occasionally knocked one off...

I’ve been on the Medtronic 780 with Simplera for 12 days now and the sensor gave up during the night. When the Smartguard was running the Basal wasn’t highlighted on the pump. I turned the Smartguard off as I was concerned the Basal wasn’t running. I haven’t as yet put another Simplera on , but...

Hi, I’ve got the same issue, blank screen today, I’ve spoken to helpline and they just said there’s a problem and don’t know when it will be resolved. I’ve got the Reader 2 so have put new sensor on and using the reader. Hope they resolve it quickly.

Hi, I’ve had a couple of operations in the past and had to remove the pump. I was attached to a sliding scale which was monitered during the op. I stayed on the sliding scale until I recovered. This was a while ago and wasn’t using the Libre sensor then.
