Hello friends I would welcome your advice. My hospital is suggestion two option for a replacement pump: 1) ypso pump 2) omnipod 5 both with freestyle libre sensors. I'm currently using medtronic 780g pump with guardian 4 sensors. I don't know which pump to select! Thank you.

I'm sorry how you're being passed from pillar to post. You are probably caught up in a post code lottery where some places are after making savings. My experience is that I started to have hypos but without the usual signs. I started to keep a log. My GP said to speak with the diabetes nurse...

I alternate for a new sensor. Also place the sensor in different place e.g. higher up to just above the elbow. No pain experienced or difference in readings noticed.

It's faulty. Your hospital clinic should be able to replace this. Alternatively call libre sensors customer careline 0800 1701177 they'll replace this for free. Super caring staff. I've had 3 faulty experience similar to your over past two years. All the best
