I was on the insight for 8 years and found it painfully slow but at the time, this was progress. Ive now changed and I’m on MEDTRONIC 670g with the CGM, since 7-10-19, I’ve found it so difficult to grasp as personally I’ve found it so high tech which I’ve not picked up easily and am still...

I fully agree with SallyEzra I changed from the insight after 8 years to the Medtronic 670g the first two weeks were hell, keytones high sugars and continuous bleeping mainly at night, I ended up feeling totally let down completely I learnt so much from YouTube as the instructions in the...

Hi I read this with a lot of interest, even though there’s words that I just cannot comprehend, I ended with full blown Type 1, 6-8 months after coming off Prednisone in 1975 which I’d been on for 12 years for kidney failure. The doctors did comment that the diabetes was probably caused by the...

Haven’t been given the sensors yet but 8 days ? I know when I used the LIBRE I started to get a bit itchy around then. I was connected on the 670g yesterday using the Contour Next, it all seemed totally confusing push this scroll that but when I got home I was baffled totally. So I just tested...

That’s really interesting there’s obviously a lot to take in, and really being re taught a new way of pumping, I’m already pretty up on keeping an eye on carbs/bolus ratio but need to get it more tighter.

I was going to upgrade to another pump originally but with a lot of discussions etc and pros and cons, I’m starting on the above mentioned pump with CGM etc tomorrow. Although I have reasonably good control HbA1c between 5.5 & mid 6. I seem to have gained these figures by hypos etc well a few...

Yes there glass, all I was thinking if you use a self filled every 2-3 days it wouldn’t have any interaction with it.

As the title says I’m partially sighted is there anybody operating the Medtronic 670 & Dexcom With eyesight issues and neuropathy in the hands? I can use my phone when held 3-5 inches in front of me with very strong glasses . Filling the cartridges and pushing the buttons might cause some...

If you have to use a self filled cartridges can you fill 2 or 3 and keep them in the fridge till needed a few days late. Just been so long sine I’ve read up (years) I just cant remember.

With sight and neuropathy in my hand But all in all a good little pump very fast, I tried it for 5 days not enough time really. One more things why oh why aren’t the screens in colour I like mobiles. Sorry for the gap in the post

I’m waiting to go onto the Ypsopump but my endocrinologist has now decided that might not be the best pump for me. I’ve used pumps for years but I still get severe hypos and now and then and I’ve no hypo awareness so he wants me to try the Medtronic 670G and use a Dexcom G6 The Ypsopump is...

Have had similar problems when I phoned they just said there’s an error which I’d worked out myself by reading the error codes I’ve funded since last September and have had 5 naff sensors 3 in 6 weeks but in their favour they’ve replaced all of them no problem

Ok got a bit carried away

Blimey that’s amazing 9yrs funny enough I found that out yesterday at my review by my endocrinologist. I have news !! I’ve self funded the LIBRE since November and I’d decided on the YPSOPUMP but all that’s changed completely my results were 43 which they’ve been for about the last 4-5 yrs but...

I have an ancient metal pen that when I checked the insulin was 3 years out of date, I know very stupid of me but it’s just never even crossed my mind . But I don’t know how, I’ve now got 10 pens of basal and 10 of long term that we’re prescribed to me. Hmm perhaps somebody is trying to tell me...
