Yes, we have the Medtronic 780g in the U.K. I hope your team can help, maybe change the settings on the pump so that it all works better for you. Good luck!

By the way, there’s a Pump Forum on this site, the people there may have some helpful things they can say. Good luck getting it all sorted.

Are you on a closed loop pump or one that needs set profiles and more active management? I can see from the images that it’s Medtronic. I’m guessing it’s not closed loop as insulin would be suspended when the CGM told the pump you were becoming hypo. Either way, it’s probably best if you take...

Recently, reliability issues have begun occurring for me. It’s not the falling off but the changes in accuracy. The one I’m wearing right now worked quite well for a week but has started to differ wildly from bloods. If I’d assessed it on its first week’s performance and assumed it was good I’d...

Hi @Jhon Doe, I’m not yet a pump user; I’ve been approved to have one - still waiting. However, I’m a little confused by your posts. Firstly, your use of Levemir for MDI seems odd. You say you took in two doses, one in the morning and one at noon despite Levemir having an active period of 12...

So so pleased to hear there are good signs that your wife’s doing well! Quite understand needing something to do rather than hanging around on your own, it’s good to feel active at times like this; it just seemed such a long drive for you each day. More hugs, and congratulations for the...

Do Addenbrooks have any accommodation for someone like you so that you could stay nearer your wife at this time? You’re under enormous strain right now and blood sugar mayhem adds another dimension. I hope your wife’s recovering well from the emergency op, hugs for her and for you.

PS I’m not fond of the term ‘forest bathing’, I much prefer ‘a walk in the woods’

Hi @Bluemarinejosephine I agree that managing Type One is an ongoing strain; I’ve been doing it for over fifty-five years and can attest to the ups and downs. Do you have any supportive apps that help you decide what decisions to make? Things like Carbs and Cals and Libre alarms can, I agree...

It seems that the Minimed Mio Advance is ok, still available

It’s the infusion sets. Will look at what’s happening with the pump https://www.uclh.nhs.uk/our-services/find-service/children-and-young-peoples-services/children-and-young-peoples-diabetes/diabetes-blog-news-and-updates/discontinuation-minimedtm-miotm-infusion-sets

A lesson for us all: if you can be so cheerfully hopeful, the rest of us need to be more Ushthetaff. Go well, stay good, and don’t go shopping.

I’ve just seen that Medtronic are discontinuing the Mio in the U.K., if that’s where you are @\Daf/

Hi Ricky, Good to read such a cheerfully pleased post about the Medtronic 780g. Which sensor are you using? Hope it all continues swimmingly for you.

Hi, I recommend a large Frio wallet to keep the spare cartridges and the basal pen in plus a double one for when you need to carry basal and bolus pens with you. You’d also have a wallet to keep all supplies in for the ten to twenty minutes while you’re refreshing a Frio in cold water. I also...

When you’ve needed to change doses, cos of ratios, seasonal long-acting differences, extraordinary circumstances, it’s really useful to have a logbook entry for the past few days.

Update - seems there’s been an upload outage (iOS phone) from Saturday pm to now, just found I can upload the last two doses. Odd.

Anyone else having difficulty transferring NovoPen dose memory to the LibreLink app? I’ve not been able to upload since late Saturday [emoji638][emoji637]st. It’d be helpful to know if it’s just me or a wider problem.

Scroll down and take a look at the thread on sensor covers, there are some suggestions there. @Antje uses Hypafix which looks good.
