Hi Maco. I have been reading all of your posts on the 780g with great interest as I have just got the ball rolling on applying for one myself. Currently on MDI using Dexcom G6. Previously used a medtronic paradigm pump back in 2017 but quit as there were a lot of pump failures I think I was...

Anyone else on the Dexcom G6 who find it regularly gets Sensor errors! Its happening a lot for me and always just before I really need it!!!!

Thanks for all that info much appreciated! I have an ongoing problem of over treating hypos so this time I said to myself Im gonna get this right so I carefully took 3 large jellybabies and waited but as the time went on I started to feel awful and the arrows kept dropping so I started on a can...

Very interesting article I came across ....https://www.google.ie/amp/s/medicalxpress.com/news/2020-10-treatment-reverses-young-diabetes.amp I believe insulin therapy is just treating the symptoms of type 1 whereas we should be getting to the root of the problem. This gives some hope. I have...
