Like I said I have absolutely no idea sorry, it helps in general big time...... Thats all I know ;)

I use CCS Foot Care Cream for my feet in general. It's helped a lot, my feet are lovely and smooth. No idea if it will help you feet, just thought I'd mention it, you never know right ? :)

thank you both Chas & Juicyj for your thoughts, I do have basal settings for my pump but my DN told me those settings would only be used IF the SmartGuard software was switched off. Another example was when I received a new pump & the SmartGuard software requires upto 72 hours of data before it...

thanks for that link, I will miss my 22-00 meal for a while and see how it all pans out. Now pls bear with me as I'm probably being a bit thick here, if my readings are good with no meal, that probably means that my last meal is the problem, and hopefully it's those stomach cramps right ? So...

I have no idea how to a basal fasting test, but will do an internet search to find more. I would prefer to keep it the same if possible, after all its been working fine so far. I'm still hoping that these stomach cramps fully disappear, and then I can re valuate if I'm still riding high...

that's great idea, many thanks for your input, I will see what he says.....

Hi Juicyj, 22-00 ish is my last meal, bedtime about 03-00/04-00, food wise normally some soup with a few wheatmeal crackers, I haven't been eating anything different from when my bloods were good at nightime. I don't do basal fasting tests, re basal rates, I'm on the...

Hi Chas, I have no idea if the stomach cramps are a factor,thankfully it's looks like they are stopping, I'm only picking up on it because it's the only thing thats different, everything else I do is the same. My last meal is around 22-00, 13-00 breakfast, 17-30...

Hi there Juicyj, No lumps anywhere on my stomach thankfully !!! Yeah, primed properly, I wait until 3 drops have come through and then fill the cannula as instructed. My set is the MiniMed Mio Advanced...... Hope this helps.....

Afternoon All, As you can see for my signature below I'm using the Medtronic Closed Loop Set Up, it's all big & clever and my bloods have been lower than they have even been. One of the best parts of this is that during the night my blood reading usually are about...

Afternoon All, It doesn't happen every time, but maybe 1/3 or 1/4 times when I place a new cannula on my stomach, my BG levels shoot up (to between 12/15mmol/L) for a few hours and eventually corrects itself. I'm just not sure why, maybe some infusion site issues ...

I'm in the Uk Prancy so NHS funded, so I cannot help you, but I did find a couple of links that you may assist you, good luck... https://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/news-research/2023/05/08/medtronic-minimed-780g-hybrid-closed-loop-system-to-launch-in-united-states/...

Yep agree 100%, only posted to let you know & for anybody reading and new to the closed loop set up...... NHS and savings ??? yeah right....;)

@Dextra, Re ordered my supplies, but still on 3 day infusion sets, because I need to talk with the hospital to get it changed to 7 days.....

yep, I put a carb value in for when I eat, and then the software does the rest......

Many thanks for your thoughts Dextra, I will start soon, with the Temp Target on for 1 hour before and after exercise. I think as you stated it will be a kinda trail & error situation. The wonderful Metronic Lady said just "just leave it to run" and most of the time that's what happens, I trap...

Hi there Prancy, The 780G is my first pump, and it's connected to the Guardian 4 in the closed loop system (they talk to each other, and the SmartGuard software control my blood levels), so I'm not sure how much I can help you. I've found...

Hi all, Have been on this closed loop system since Nov 2022, and all in all am very impressed!! For the last 30 days I'm 83% in range (+3.9 / -10.0mmol/L) and my average blood sugar reading is 4.5mmol/L. That's assuming I'm reading the tech correctly....... Yes, the...
