Hi I have been offered the Medtrum Patch Pump by my diabetes team. I am looking for some opinions please! I currently have the Medtronic 640g but like the thought of being able to go tubeless providing the Patch is pretty comfortable to wear, any views would be very much appreciated thanks.

Thanks everyone had a feeling it predicting a bit on the low side

Hi everyone anyone have any experience of the Libre A1c prediction accuracy I’ve only had mine for 66 days and it’s predicting 7:1 - 51 be interesting to know if this is on the money or not?

Thank you a lesson learnt ☹️

Hi everyone yesterday I started a new Libre sensor with my phone and then went to scan with my scanner as I much prefer using the scanner to my phone...only for a message to come up saying unable to scan as started with another device...would anyone know how to overcome this problem so I can...

Thank you, very interesting...my consultant did recommend that I now bolus 15 mins before eating....I have the Medtronic 640g and will probably have to use the enlite sensors more often to get a hold on things even though they’re very expensive!

Hi everyone I had an appointment with my Consultant today my A1c came back at 7.8 (I know it needs to be lower) but my bg meter was showing a three month average of 11mmol.....my consultant seemed to think the two different readings didn’t quite match up and has asked me to try and lower it as...

Hi everybody I've been trialling the enlite sensors with my Medtronic 640g..apparently the sensors only last for 6 days and at £525 for a box of 10 will be very expensive to fund...anyone have any experience of getting a longer life out of these sensors??

@azure from everything I've read and seen the 640G and Vibe are both extremely good pumps and appear a big step up from my Accu-Chek combo that I've had over the last four years.

Interesting!...does the starter pack price include the first five sensors??

@asa35 Yes I've today chosen the Medtronic 640G which was what I wanted all along really....but after seeing the Vibe last week at my clinic I took a liking to it and nearly talked myself out of getting the Medtronic..after hours of reading reviews it really does become a difficult...
