    Medtronic 780g + Guardian 4

    Hi Shell, I have had the 780g with Guardian 4 since May this year and I can say it has made a massive difference for me. My bloods weren’t bad before hand but they also weren’t amazing. I work all kinds of shifts so it has been hard for me to find a routine but since having the guardian 4 it’s...

    So just to expand a bit on the above, I am wondering if slight changes in your eye sight that are picked up at your screening can be undone? The reason I ask is that two years ago I had my usual diabetic eye screening done and I got a letter to say there was slight changes to my eyes but not...

    Need help ASAP

    Sorry for the delayed reply. I ended up in hospital [emoji85] My bloods were fine if not on the low side, it turns out my keytones were due to not being able to keep anything down. After being on copious amount of drips and given anti sickness I’ve been allowed home. Where I still feel ropey...

    Reading of above 33.3

    Thanks guys. Just to explain so you's don't think my comment about having my pump taken off me was an over reaction.
