Coming out of Smart Guard sounds strange indeed. How long have you given the pump to learn your body needs? Initially, I was all over the place too. It took me probably a couple of months for the pump to learn me. After that it worked well. Not perfect, but very well. There are a few...

I see. Having access to pump treatment is definitely a factor. I’m in US and still struggle with supply issues, though I’m fully covered. If your A1c is good, that’s awesome. If I could do that, I probably wouldn’t have gone with a pump.

Yeah, sometimes I’m off. But normally I’m pretty steady. I cheer for any who do well with MDI, but it was rarely doable for me. A pump is a lot of work too. I only bolused for breakfast this morning and never thought about it since. It’s early evening. I skipped lunch. Just checked and BG 125...

Have you considered a pump with automated delivery? It changed my life. Once the pump is acclimated, you just bolus for carbs. It does the rest.The pump knows when you need less basal and backs off….and does micro boluses if it sees you are trending up. I really struggled with MDI for many...

I hope you are able to fully utilize the 780 Smart Guard feature. It took me a little while (months) to get adjusted when I went from 670 to 780, but it did eventually happen. I worked with my endo team to make adjustments and allow the system to learn my needs. I was able to get get results...

I was MDI for many years and am glad I understand basal, bolus dosing…etc. However I am now very reliant on my pump. It does a better job for me than I do. It really scares me that I might have come off the pump for some reason. Even 24 hours would be horrible. I could manage it, but I’d...

That’s very disappointing. Man….My G4 isn’t that bad right now.

The test requited by my insurance to confirm type 1 (and cover pump supplies) was C-Peptide. And mine was undetectable. It was my understanding that antibody tests cannot diagnose type 1. I found this piece. I didn’t see a date though. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/313764

I was wondering how you are doing? Have you gotten any answers about your symptoms?

I’ve been on a pump (Now on Medtronic 780, G 4 cgm) for about 8 years after many years on injections. It’s improved my management a lot. I can’t imagine life without a pump. It’s a lot of work, but worth it. I’d read a lot about the options before deciding. There is an adjustment to being...

I’ve had repeated problems but recently got 6 days on one sensor and 7 on another! Shocked! I’m trying to get my 780 adapted to pair with Simplera now. Will switch to Simplea soon I hope. Supplies are short.

I was hoping you’d get some input. I’ve been on Medtronic 780 for over a year with good results. It’s not problem free, but still good, i have considered Omnipod with Dexcom. There are many options now. Do ypu have a Special Mode you can put your pump on while exercising that lowers the...

I read that Simplera becomes available to order in the US Monday. I’m in the US. I want to try it. The Medtronic website that shows how to update the 780 from the Guardian cgm to Simplera cgm seems straightforward. I just want to make sure all Medtronic 780s can switch to accommodate Simplera.

I’m in US and for my health insurance to cover my insulin pump supplies they require doctor visit, including notes and a1c every 3 months. My endocrinologist is booked up a year in advance so it’s a struggle. I get the blood work done at my primary doctor’s office when I can. My latest a1c...

Great poem! You nailed it!

That one has most recent posts from April. Thanks.

I think you’re right. Would be nice to see some updates on this. How are you doing?

It must be a quality control thing. I had great accuracy for 4 days…..then bam! Sensor Updating……out of no where! BG had been 111. I let it update for several hours….I knew that Notification was the kiss of death for that sensor. It was…..after 3 hours it said Change Sensor. I wonder if...

I had my hopes up for Simplera. I had read good things. I’weary of my Medtronic 780 with G4 going out after 4-5 days repeatedly! I never get 7 days anymore. I’m not the problem. It’s not coming loose. It’s not due to wonky BG numbers. It just happens every week now. I’m beyond disgusted...

Self care can be a lot of work and require a lot of energy. I’ve managed type 1 for over 24 years and feel fortunate I’m still pretty healthy and vital. I realize everyone is busy, but have you considered a weekend get-a-way or retreat? I realize that might not be feasible for everyone. I...
