    Guardian 4 sensors - soon to be a new user

    I think I have said this before somewhere on here, so sorry if i'm repeating myself. I apply the sensor to my arm then plug in the transmitter. Then I just put the 2 bits of tape over the whole thing. I don't do it the Medtronic way, its too fiddly. I do use a mirror. I've never had a...

    pump advice

    2 years ago I had a mountain bike accident and totaly destroyed my 640g pump. I phoned medtronic and they replaced it the next day. Is insurance really necessary?

    Been given a Medtronic 780g with G4 sensors and I hate it. Do I have to keep it for the full four years?

    Ok, I was just asking as I've seen people putting it on their stomach and having problems like you are having.
