I appreciate the info. There’s a lot to consider. I guess my favorite features are having my pump stop delivering when it sees I’m getting low and giving me more insulin when it sees I’m getting high. I‘ve really struggled with my 670G almost the entire time I’ve had it, but lately it’s...

Oh, I would, but I currently use Medtronic 670G. I’m now debating if I should upgrade to Medtronic 780G or switch brands and get Tandem pump and Dexcom G6. (Also have option of staying with what I have, but I’ll need a new transmitter that‘ll work with my 670G really soon.) I need my pump and...

Damian, how are you doing? I just saw your post and could really relate. I’m going through health anxiety right now. And, I suffered several panic attacks many years ago, but haven’t had one since. My panic attacks started for no known reason. They are difficult to explain. You literally...

You are very brave. I wish I could do that and may have to. My transmitter is out of warranty and I’m not inclined to replace it right now, because if I do I won’t be in a position to get a new one for a Medtronic 780G or Dexcom 6, whichever route I decide to go. I‘m just not sure, plus...

I’ve tired all kinds of cold cereals (not sweetened) and no matter how carful I am to bolus correctly for it by counting the carbs, it’s never even close to touching my BG spike. I finally gave up. No more me. its just not worth it.

I can totally relate. I‘ve had a friend tell me that I was obsessed with my CGM. I try to be reasonable about it, but with the way my BG works, I have to be very aware. I would never consider having my CGM on my phone, where it could be stolen or lost. Using my phone as a backup, might be ok...

I wish I knew about your issues. I’m also interested in how c-peptide values reflect on a person’s diagnosis. I hope others will chime in.

Does anyone know if someone with MODY could have negative C-peptide test?

Do you use a pump or MDI? I can’t get the numbers I used to get and I now have a pump and CGM.

Hey Roberto, welcome. I’m not Type 2, but there are many here who seem to be very informed. I’m new here and just learning my way around.

Thank you! One link says that regardless of which Medtronic model I have and if out of warranty, they’ll arrange to get me a 780G. Does that mean no money up front? Hmmmm….I’ll have to explore that. No up front out of pocket costs might entice me. I’ve just resolved that no matter which...

Does anyone have the cost for this system? I just sticker shock on Tandem. I have insurance, but it’s not as much as when I got my 670G years ago. I had only a small out of pocket cost.

I get it. I feel that way about my 67O G. My warranty is now up, but I just found out how much the Tandem would cost! Omg….I don’t think I can get it right now. I’m on hold. When I got my 670 G, I didn’t have to pay that much out of pocket. I think it cost like $8000. I’ll keep watching...

That sounds like a terrible thing to deal with. I can’t even imagine. You certainly are experienced with this, but do you think it would help if you had a CDE observe what is happening, so they could document it with your reports? I’m not sure how that works in your area. With me, I take my...

Good to know. I may try it. I’ll need longer tubing though.

I don’t know the specifics of their policy, but I have read that Medtronic provides a travel backup pump when you travel internationally. I think there was a small fee. I took supplies and long acting insulin for MDI, just in case. I agree about the ease of travel. I had a letter from my...

I’m not that familiar with other areas, as I only use my torso area, but I’m planning to move to a new site area this week. My stomach and side sites still work, but I want to give them a break. I have seen people online use their upper arms for infusion, though that’s not real practical for...

Am I correct in my belief that the M670, in Auto mode is supposed to increase basal, when you need it, AND slow or stop basal if that is needed, based on your numbers? So, the M780 would not only do that, but also do micro boluses? Is that right? Your initial reports sound good.

I just saw your post about using 780G. I’m very interested in your experience with it. I’m on 670G and I use auto mode over 95% of the time. I struggle with it running me low during the night, even though I haven’t bolused. I’m hoping the 780 might be better and improved. I’d love to see...

I’m type I, but intend to see if my Endo thinks I’m a good candidate for it at my next appointment. Sometimes, meds are prescribed off label. It’s not that I want to take a med, besides insulin, it’s that I’ve personally seen some great results. Of course everyone is different. One of my...
