Just a by the by, I have had 2 out of 3 sensors fail in the last 3 weeks. Tonight when I talked to the people at Medtronics about the latest failure, I asked them about the next generation sensor that is to replace this IMO woefully inadequate sensor we currently have (G4) and the very kind...

It would be remiss of me to not state that IMO the 780G software is light years ahead of its predecessor the 770G. IMO if Medtronics can get it together and come up with a suitable sensor, to match that advance, then I believe they will have really come up with the first stand alone artificial...

My personal opinion is that the design and now the required placement location of these sensors, (which does requires a second person), makes living with them almost impossible. Hopefully Medtronics will put their rather vast resources to the task of designing and manufacturing a user friendly...

5-7 days is the life expectancy Medtronic gives their Guardian 4 sensors, on that basis, you are right on the money.

I have the 780 and G4 . I typically consume between 100 and 130gms carb per day, mainly in one main meal. I too have had a similar problem and my solution, if you can call it that, is to check the pump about an hour after eating and "add" some ghost carbs to deal with the increase in sugar...
