Hi Tobias, really good to hear that you have such good experience with the Ypsopump/FSL3/CamAPSFX. I have not tested the system yet. My former pump (before testing the 780G) was a manual Ypsopump and a FSL2. A new loopable version with FSL3 and CamAPSFX will be order for me beginning of January...

Hi Gordontoo, thanks for your reply. Indeed life takes us to unexpected places and circumbstances. Very kind of you to reply anyway. I think, however, you did not see my post from December 15. It was nice though to have a conversation with you and I wish you all the best with the diabetes and...

Hi all, My decision time is over and, after considering all aspects, the 780G + Guardian4 did, despite meaningful plusses, not win the battle. I am happy I did have the chance to try this system for a while though. I will go back to the Ypsopump, this time in combination with FSL3 and CamApsFX...

Depending on how lowish you wish to eat over there: besides the above mentioned foods, legumes are used in many dishes like dahls, often mixed with veggies and yummie sauces. They will also - slowly but surely - rise bloodsugars. Enjoy your journey!

I can imagine that my post concerns you. I hope my experience does not apply to everyone eating low carb and using the 780G and G4. At least I hope that, in case you do encounter similar problems, you have some advance in recognizing and will be able to experiment with adjustments to find the...

Thanks for sharing this, jmp21551. I am curious if you eat a low carb or normal diet and what your daily carb intake and your total daily insulin dose is, to learn a bit more in what cases the algorithm works well or better than in my situation. Would you share that info here? Can you give...

I spoke with Medtronic on the phone today. This low carbing problem is not a very common thing they encounter so far. The only tools for adjusting are experimenting with the carb/insulin ratio and if necessary experimenting with entering slightly more carbs than will be eaten in reality. Other...

Interestingly: I just found this text on the website of Medtronic: WARNING: Do not use the SmartGuard™ feature for people who require less than 8 units or more than 250 units of total daily insulin per day. A total daily dose of at least 8 units, but no more than 250 units, is required to...

Hi Jane, Really similar to my situation, what you describe. Indeed very frustrating. Geting recognition from you and others makes it a bit more bearable, thank you for sharing. I also would like to know more about the calculations. Especially because the diabetes nurses do not really have...

Thanks Dexta, I started off with 6.1 indeed but because of the problem mentioned I already after 1 week lowered it to 5.5. I do not really see it striving for 5.5 though.

Hi Chas C, thanks for sharing your thoughts and the way you handle bolusing. I am also a 'pump-veteran' (about 23 years now) and before I had a cgm I worked like you describe. With the cgm I still bolus about 15 mins in advance but extended bolus (dual bolus) is not possible in the 780g...

Thanks for sharing your method, Gordontoo! Indeed questionable if we should call it a solution ;-) but happy to read that it works well for you. My diabetes nurse and Medtronic trainers stipulate NOT to enter ghost carbs so I did not do that so far. But I will take your method in consideration...

I did find some earlier posts on FB in the meantime from low carbers or ketogenic eaters. For some the algorithm works well, comparable to others who eat a normal diet. Some mention that the algorithm is built to help T1D's to live a normal life with a normal diet, which means it is not really...

Hi Antje77, thanks for your reply. Marjan indeed already responded to my post but she is not low carb. But she is always very helpful, like you are here! Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, chchcharlotte. Indeed the bedding in can take some time, and seems to differ per person. That makes it even harder because trial time is relatively short. I will let you know here if I find more information from others. Good luck with your choice!

Thank you, Nicola, I have already posted my question in a Dutch 780G FB group but will nonetheless try there too.

Hi all, I have been testing the 780G + Guardian4 sensor for about 6 weeks now but have not yet felt very much improvement in comparison with my former system (Ypsopump + FSL2). I recently learned from Medtronic that using a low total daily dose might cause the algorithm to have less...

Hi StewM, Admiration for your efforts to get things clear. I do not have the same but also an awkward experience with Fiasp. I used it since mid June this year and at first I was happy with it because it lowered my spikes after mealtimes. After about a month I started needing more and more...

I recognise what you experience. A few years ago I tried a keto diet, with a max of carbs between 20 to 50 grams a day. I noticed high spikes about 5 hours after meals and learned that the lower the amount of carbs I take, the more impact the proteins have on my bloodsugar. When proteins do get...

Hi MarkMunday, thanks for sharing your thoughts, and your real life experience is very confiding. So I will get me some good zip lock bags :-).
