medtronic 640g

I was wanting to get a Medtronic 640G but I don't know whether I would need a prescription for it

Hi everyone! Long time reader, first time poster :) Hope you're all doing well! I have been diabetic for nearly 20 years, on a pump for 10 years, and I am (over)due my third pump update. My biggest problem since diagnosis is that I do not test nowhere near enough which means my control is not...

Hi, 1st time here. Looking for any guidance on apps to help manage type 1. I am on a Medtronic 640G Pump with a CGM which I upload to Carelink. I am looking to find a way to have my CGM data along with food/exercise info in one place so I have the full picture. Any advice would be appreciated...

Hi all! I'm new to this forum but been reading it from time to time ;-) My Paradigm Veo pump will soon be out of warranty and I was offered an option to upgrade to 640G but I think alternatively I can maybe get a new Veo as a replacement. I have been using Paradigm pumps for 8 years. I will...

Hi everyone, I've been going high after set changes for some time now and I'm still trying to find ways to fix this issue. I'm on a 640G with Mio Advance sets. I recently changed from Mio to Advance but it hasn't helped the problem. To combat the post-set highs, I've been doing an extra bolus...

Hi everyone. I am currently using Medtronic 640G pump and CGM Guardian 3. Now I have bought Apple iWatch and I wanted to know if it´s possible to connect my iPhone (iWatch) with the pump/sensor. As far as I´m concerned the Medtronic phone app cannot be used when using a pump. Am I right? Does...

Dear friends, We have a pumpMedtronic 640G. At first we were absolutely excited, especially our 9 year old who loves gadgets. 2 years later, after so many hypers, we are not excited at all (our daughter is 11 now). Plastic cannulas often bent, we finally found that metal ones are much better...

Hello, I have just purchased a medtronic 640g insulin pump and I can't wear it because it sticks me in my stomach. I have been looking for a leather belt case with which I could put it horizontally, but I can't find any that would not require to take the pump out every time I check my glucose...

Hi, I got my Medtronic 640g pump only yesterday. Doing the initiating period so only using saline at the moment and still injecting myself as i would have done previously. Already feel like the pump is not for me. It feels very bulky and is not comfortable on my belt. I also would want it to be...

Hello all, First of all, I would like to thank you all for taking the time to read my first proper post (apart from my introduction). Please do bear with me, as this post is a bit of a long one. I am the mother of a type 1 diabetic daughter. She is 12 years old and was diagnosed back in 2009...

hello. I'm going to start my 640G next month. It will be my first pump ever and I'm very excited. I've been self-funding freestyle libre for about 11 months now and I was wondering if anyone has experience in using libre and 640g or any other pump ? Any tips, advice would be very useful. Also...

Hi All I've been on the Medtronic 640g for a little over a year now, and mostly I love it. I am going to Greece in a couple of weeks to visit my parents, and last time I was there (~1 week after getting the pump) my cannulas would just come unstuck within about 4-5 hours due to the heat or...
