Hey Dee - you've maybe read my posts in other social media accounts about my trial with the #780G (I started on it back in April - but had been trialing the #770G where AutoMode was horrible for me - so kept it in Manual). I finally have been heard by Medtronic Canada (they're looking into some...

I'm the same as @TriciaWs - but on insulin - so I just calculate the correction (I like to be around 5-7 before a meal) - and whatever carbs I may consume. Also, one thing you can do @GM1986 - is to still eat - not too carby - and go for say a 20 minute stroll. I know many T2D's who do this...

Ypsopump is good for anyone using insulin - whether it's low amount or more. The changing of the glass vials is very simple to do, if you run out of insulin inbetween your infusion changes. I think in the EU (I'm in Canada - where we have refillable glass vials for the Ypsomed rather than...

Thanks for that reminder @SamJB - I had similar probs just on a day hike a few weeks ago - where my Medtronic 780G wasn't autocorrecting - and I went up into the same teen range as you. My muscles, everything, started to go bonky wonky, and pump was also Alarming with other issues. I wish I'd...

Just posted this reply in another thread with 780G/Guardian 4 (so you maybe scratching your head - but was in reference to the IOB setting for the SmartGuard) - but thought I'd share what I learned at a virtual event held for folks here in Canada that are new to the 780G (it's been rolling out...

Last night I attended a Medtronic virtual event for those new to the 780G (still on G3) here in Canada. Overall, it went really well with learning some tips - and how my "phantom carbs" (I had called them ghost carbs when I wrote in the Chat box for the discussion afterwards) - and that's a big...

One thing @RobertJ - what had you had for dinner ? Depending on what it was, it may have released havoc on your BG's later - or maybe your body is fighting something (edit - noticed you said you had a cold)? I'm telling you, sometimes why our BG's go funky wonky is beyond my imagination. I...

I'm new to the 780G (using G3 - it only got approved this month in Canada) - but changing out your basal settings will NOT make any difference to your readings - according to the Medtronic Support when I'd asked the same question. Depending on how long you've been in SmartMode - be patient...

Just thought I'd BUMP this up - incase it gets lost in all the posts here! Am attending a virtual course tonight for the 780G here in Canada - and hopefully will learn a bit more about the system. Good news - have had 4 calls from Medtronic Support - so tagging in social media - does help. If...

I'm thinking the same thing with the extended infusion sets. I'm in Canada though, where we don't get full funding for many diabetic products we need to stay alive - so at least I'm able to work still and able to afford CGM and Pharmacare (pump is covered by province). We're allocated $2,400...

How are things going for your son now with the #780G - my story is same as yours with being high at night - and waking up - despite going to bed under 6.

Hey there Private01 - curious to know - did you ever get things sorted out. You sound like my twin in the Medtronic 780G. I've been thinking of giving the pump back to Medtronic - but after almost 3 months of asking for help from Medtronic and my CDE at the hospital I go to (plus I've been...

Hey there - was coming onto the forums here to get more insight into a closed looping pump (I've been trialing the 780G here in Canada - and so far - being a tightly controlled T1D of almost 60 years - well - it's a love/hate relationship with the AutoMode). The pump is publicly funded here in...

And yes - with MDI - which I was doing for a week for meal / corrections ... using NovoRapid in pump for basal ... I had no issues with irritation at the injection site. Now with 3 weeks in on FIASP via Animas Vibe, when removing the infusion sets (I use Sure-T and or Contact Detach) ... I have...

I'm the same as you Tim ... been pumping since 2008 ... and never had an air bubble problem. Loving this thread. Sadly, here in Canada we don't have any forums like you do in UK. It's all American forums, and sometimes, it's nice to come back home (I'm an expat) and discuss in a language that...
