I have been with Medtronic pumps for the last 19 years so I don't know any other pumps but I have always found it easier to upgrade to a new pump although the 780 is different in many ways I have found knowing the basics helps. I too have had cracks on the 640 but Medtronic have always changed...

I only normally drink 1 or 2 glasses of wine so I don't find it affects me if it does lower my bs I find my pumps Basel rate will adjust for this, so sorry not a problem for me, however a apple tart will after 3 hours raise my bs so I take about 75 percent before the meal and the other 25...

So 2 months on smart guard, on the whole very pleased yes I have had all the normal problems lows a few highs some I have to say my fault but I quickly learned to let the pump do it's thing my nights are great I can sleep all night without looking ok I do sometimes still look but I don't feel I...

I like you had been using the 640 for 19 years and have recently started on the 780 with the sensor 4, I have to say I have been very pleased with the 780 and the sensor 4, I would not like to go back to the 640 although I was happy with it for 19 years ,

I have been on the 7 day infusion sets for 2 years now and I usually get 7 days with them but we are different also recently started on the Medtronic sensor 4 and am finding the last the full 7 days as well

I have had quite a lot surgeries in the last 10 years, I have never been asked to remove my pump, in fact my last surgery they just asked if it alarms what action should they take I said just keep an eye on my blood sugers.

I have to change my reservoir every 3 to 4 days but my infusion set lasts 7 days with no problems in fact I find my infusion sites are less of a problem than when I used to have to change my sets every 2 or 3 days

Sorry I have not been able to log in for a few months, I have been using the 7 day infusion sets for nearly 1 year now and I normally get 7days but yes I do live in France, I hope you can get them in the UK soon

I should think it is a bit of a worry when the start of this thread talks about how bad it is in America and the UK goverment wants to bring in American health companies into the NHS, is it good or bad I don't know

Nice to hear how happy some people are with the NHS, I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised how good the health system is here in France, so now I consider the treatment I got in the UK poor

There is a shortage in the EU as well or at least in France, may be they are sending some insulin meant for the EU to the UK, so hopefully no one will be without insulin

For me it was that it either just stopped working and bg,s shot up or after 3 days I would get irritation at the infusion site, I have been using the extended infusion sets for 6 months now and have been getting six or seven days out of them lately which I am very pleased with

I have to disagree, here in France some things are 100% and some things you have to contribute to it has never been a problem for the chemist and with computer programs now, so it would not be difficult to charge for some medicines and not others, not that I would like diabetics in the UK to...

You said the EU have strict rules but you must have meant the UK, as I live in the EU I was thinking in the EU you can post medical items but I am not sure, although I do post my old pumps back to my supplier with no problems. Let's hope lots of people send item's to the people of the Ukraine

I am sure you can post medical things by post as I get all my pump supplies by post, I have some spare reservoirs and infusion sets so I will try to post them

I'm still using the enlite sensers, lots of people do not like them but I find with 2 or 3 calibrations a day keeps it quite accurate they like all cgms and integrated pumps take a while to get used to, I found the libre inacurute at times so you need to look out for variations that you do not...
