I travel with my Medtronic 780g and Simplera closed loop sensors. My Diabetes team provided me with a letter stating my pump and sensor cannot go through X-ray. I always get a pat down and they swab the pump.

Be careful not to over shoot, good levels are coming down.

Have you done another finger prick and are levels dropping,

Sasha 1!: You maybe at risk of DKA if you aren’t able to check ketones ring 111 back or go to A&E. Has the Diabetic team contacted you yet.

That’s very high BG. Have you checked ketones and are you not able to obtain the Guardian 4 as I thought they were available.

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.
