    Problems with supplies of Medtronic equipment

    Yes, I had one too where they said they’d provide one box to start with while they sorted out the supply issue.

    Advice please

    Do you have the Medtronic seven eighty g handbook? See if there’s a section in there that’ll help? The only other things I can suggest is that you look at carb ratios, insulin sensitivity factor and basal set up The DSN who advises when I ask about finer tuning suggests changing these by small...

    Minimed mobile app dropout

    Third time of trying, of removing the pump from Bluetooth and then re-pairing on phone and it’s worked. Hooray! The graph’s a bit of a shocker - many more highs than usual - just shows how much having the trends and progress in sight helps to keep us healthier. Such a relief to have it back...

    Minimed mobile app dropout

    I tried turning Bluetooth on and off again. It told me that the pump wasn’t connected; when I tried to connect it advised that the pump should be turned on, it is, and in range. It’s six inches from my phone. Ha

    Minimed mobile app dropout

    I’ve already deleted and reloaded the app, and tried to pair the pump but no joy. I’ll take the pump, this new phone and my previous phone to a mobile centre tomorrow as I fear I may need to reset to factory settings to get it all going again but I hope it won’t come to that. If your devices...

    Minimed mobile app dropout

    I may have found the reason. Looking through the phone’s settings I see that it’s automatically updated to iOS twenty-six . five but the Minimed app only works up to twenty-four . five. Bah!! And much naughtier words!! I’ll have to find out how to get back to the previous iOS. It seems lax of...

    Minimed mobile app dropout

    I have, but I’ll do it again. I’ve also removed the app and re- downloaded. After that I tried to pair the pump with the new code from the newly-installed app. No joy. It’s hard managing this beast with no record of what doses the pump’s given and the trend.

    Minimed mobile app dropout

    Anyone else having problems with the Minimed mobile app this afternoon? My version on an iPhone has unpaired from the pump and failed to pair again. I’ve removed the pump from the app, reset it on the app but no joy. It just fails to pair. I was wondering whether it was my phone which runs on...

    OMNIPOD 5 & WHAT INSULINS CAN I USE. ANY HELP PLEASE

    If you google it I think you’ll be able to find the insulins the Omnipod Five uses, but I suspect your hospital team have limited access. Are there any other HCL pumps they could provide?

    Minimed Mobile App iPhone seventeen e

    Panic over, I’ve done it. Woohoo!!!! I had to unpair the device from the iPhone XR before the new one could be successfully paired. In the meantime, another Guardian Four bit the dust after only five days. Talk about a tech grrrrr Blood test now

    Minimed Mobile App iPhone seventeen e

    Has anyone successfully used the Minimed mobile app on an iPhone seventeen e? If you have, how did you do it? I know I’m an oldie, but I successfully updated the app on my older iPhone XR. I got the new phone as the old one now needs more frequent recharging, plus the seventeen e’s small...

    Instinct Sensor

    I was told it’ll be gradually distributed from July onwards. It’ll be interesting to see how many prefer the Abbott Instinct to the Medtronic Guardian [emoji640] and vice versa

    Good luck!

    Pump opinion

    The minimed seven eighty g is good once you’ve got through the first two months while it ‘learns’ you. For active days you can ask it to do a ‘temporary basal’ which reduces the chance of going low and you can set up varied carb ratios for different times of the day. As with all pumps, you do...
