    Medtronic 7 day infusion set

    Be advised that your problem may be with your insertion technique, to verify please examine the infusion set when extracted to see if the tubing has been bent.

    The 780g uses a newer infusion set, so when you remove it verify the plastic tubing is not bent would be the first thing to check. I will repeat myself, when removing the blue plastic funnel from the needle you must rotate until it is fully releasing and falling off into your hand. Next, notify...

    Issues with highs - 780g

    The one thing that comes to mind it the auto basil delivery, if you make only a small change to this setting then see if increasing the average dosage per day to see if it helps with the highs.

I have been using my waist to inject 4-6 shots a day...

    I assume you have first transferred your basil and bolus settings from your previous pump had already been setup to match your body's insulin request and control. So, you are already starting with a known control point for your A1c and should not see the ramping up of your BS's. The difference...

    Medtronic 7 day infusion set

    I use the minimed for 7 days without any issue, but I only eat 2 meals a day so don't require a lot of insulin. Talking with a Medtronic's rep who said that you might have a problem with the insulin solidifying on the plastic tubing, but that has not been a problem for me.
