I guess I’m trying to get lower out of concern of preventing damage. So far, eyes, kidneys, heart appear good. I shouldn’t stress about it though. I did make an appointment with the CDE.

Today my a1c was 6.8. I’m trying to get in low 6 range, but I’m not disappointed with the 6.8. My cgm was indicating it should be higher, but I’ll take it.

Coming out of Smart Guard sounds strange indeed. How long have you given the pump to learn your body needs? Initially, I was all over the place too. It took me probably a couple of months for the pump to learn me. After that it worked well. Not perfect, but very well. There are a few...

I see. Having access to pump treatment is definitely a factor. I’m in US and still struggle with supply issues, though I’m fully covered. If your A1c is good, that’s awesome. If I could do that, I probably wouldn’t have gone with a pump.

Yeah, sometimes I’m off. But normally I’m pretty steady. I cheer for any who do well with MDI, but it was rarely doable for me. A pump is a lot of work too. I only bolused for breakfast this morning and never thought about it since. It’s early evening. I skipped lunch. Just checked and BG 125...

Have you considered a pump with automated delivery? It changed my life. Once the pump is acclimated, you just bolus for carbs. It does the rest.The pump knows when you need less basal and backs off….and does micro boluses if it sees you are trending up. I really struggled with MDI for many...

I hope you are able to fully utilize the 780 Smart Guard feature. It took me a little while (months) to get adjusted when I went from 670 to 780, but it did eventually happen. I worked with my endo team to make adjustments and allow the system to learn my needs. I was able to get get results...

I was MDI for many years and am glad I understand basal, bolus dosing…etc. However I am now very reliant on my pump. It does a better job for me than I do. It really scares me that I might have come off the pump for some reason. Even 24 hours would be horrible. I could manage it, but I’d...

That’s very disappointing. Man….My G4 isn’t that bad right now.

The test requited by my insurance to confirm type 1 (and cover pump supplies) was C-Peptide. And mine was undetectable. It was my understanding that antibody tests cannot diagnose type 1. I found this piece. I didn’t see a date though. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/313764

I was wondering how you are doing? Have you gotten any answers about your symptoms?

I’ve been on a pump (Now on Medtronic 780, G 4 cgm) for about 8 years after many years on injections. It’s improved my management a lot. I can’t imagine life without a pump. It’s a lot of work, but worth it. I’d read a lot about the options before deciding. There is an adjustment to being...

I’ve had repeated problems but recently got 6 days on one sensor and 7 on another! Shocked! I’m trying to get my 780 adapted to pair with Simplera now. Will switch to Simplea soon I hope. Supplies are short.

I was hoping you’d get some input. I’ve been on Medtronic 780 for over a year with good results. It’s not problem free, but still good, i have considered Omnipod with Dexcom. There are many options now. Do ypu have a Special Mode you can put your pump on while exercising that lowers the...

I read that Simplera becomes available to order in the US Monday. I’m in the US. I want to try it. The Medtronic website that shows how to update the 780 from the Guardian cgm to Simplera cgm seems straightforward. I just want to make sure all Medtronic 780s can switch to accommodate Simplera.
