I have recently been switched from the Dexcom G6 to G7. I am being pressed to start with the G7 (which isn't a problem), BUT I have a few G6 sensors, three G6 transmitters and a G6 receiver that will be surplus. The hospital don't want them back and told me to dispose of in the usual way. This...

Hi everyone. Now that the Roche DiaPort has been discontinued, does anyone know if there are any implantable insulin pumps available for use in the UK? Or..... are there any products out there that can infuse insulin without going via subcut?

Replaced a cannula the other day & sad to report the software update made no difference. I have switched reminders off again and will go back to waiting until the cannuala stops working (usually 1-2 days) and replace then. Shame. I guess I am the only one experiencing Dexcom G6 unreliability...

Just finished the pump update & my software is now the same as yours. I have set the reminder to three days. Let,s see what happens when I have to change the cannula in one ot two days. Initially the update failed. I found that it did not like the pump connected to a USB hub - it wanted it...

I have the same, but it's daft to have to edit the reminder each time a cartridge is changed. I am (hopefully) updating the pump now, so will see what happens.

Ah. It looks like I'm out of date. I will see if I can update the pump. Thanks!

My pump does not ask that question and I can't find any settings to change. I wonder what software version your pump is runnning? Mine is Moonlight V7.4.3

Hi everybody. I have a question about Dexcom and the Tandem t:slim X2 pump with Fiasp insulin. I had a Diaport which has been removed as it got infected and is now obsolete so my consultant switched me to a closed loop with the Tandem pump and Dexcom G6. My diabetes is very labile as I don’t...

Hi everyone. About 18 months ago I was diagnosed with gastroparesis – I was having loads of hypos after food as it was not being digested, vomiting (usually in the small hours), feeling full – all the usual symptoms. Interestingly, I was diagnosed by my endo without a stomach emptying study...

I currently have a DiaPort and use a Dexcom G6 CGM. The problem is, my diabetes is so unstable, my blood sugar can fall quicker than the CGM can register it (The CGM runs about 10 minutes behind actual blood sugar) and I can be unconscious with my blood sugar too low to measure with a finger...

I have no hypo awareness and lose consciousness about once a month due to hypoglycaemia. My wife has problems using the Glucagon kit due to arthritis so ends up trying to pour GlucoJuice down my throat which is an obvious choking hazard. As ambulances can take several hours to arrive in...

Many thanks for your reply. I have tried & can’t find a way of entering a manual BM into the Combo handset – If there was a way to do that it would solve my problem. A separate app seems such a faff – check BM, enter into the app then enter insulin dose into pump. Is there a ‘secret’ key press...

Hi. I am about to change from the Dexcom G4 to the G6. I use an Accu-Chec Combo pump. Currently I check my blood sugar with the pump handset , tell it my carbs & it suggests a bolus. When I use the G6 and don't prick my fingers before meals to check my blood sugar how do I figure out my...

Thanks for the reply. I got mine to speak but found it does so every five minutes – This would drive me mad going 24H a day. What a shame – Maybe a future version of xDrip will have a ‘speak on demand button’, plus even the trend? Imagine, say, press & hold the home button and it says “6.7...

Hi. I have now got an Android phone & have xDrip working with it - It's really accurate and the larger screen is much easier to read. However, I can't find the setting to enable it to read out BG readings and would appreciate some guidance. Thanks.
