Wow, and the NHS looking at it. Once this Brexit thing is over hopefully more focus can go into this sort of thing. As an observer, I look forward to seeing this technology being significantly made smaller, with some sort backup / fail safe, and for any links not to have unintended consequences, such as emf; on balance though this is a really good news practical application.It looks like its the Medtronic 670g ? or possibly an update to it ? and claims is that it controls insulin dosage without user interaction using its own CGM ?

It has been NICE approved for months (certainly since November).
I believe Glasgow is only giving the 670G to those already prescribed the Enlite sensor. (Possibly cost had something to do with that).
I am in Newcastle upon Tyne and they have just started approving people and starting them on recently. I am having to pay for the cgm part myself but it is a small price to pay to have the use of the system properly!
HiAll going well, I will get my 670G and new Enlite system tomorrow.
I've been looking forward to it for a long time, so hopefully the virus I have will have eased off a good bit by tomorrow. (II'm in Glasgow).
£275 ex VAT for pack of 5, £525 ex VAT pack of 10 from Medtronic. They have self funded packages as well.How much is the new CGM for these pumps please and how long do each last.
Yes, greater Glasgow and Clyde. I've had my 640 G for 4 years I understand that it has a 4 year warranty. From what I've been told, they will give the new pump to those already prescribed the Enlite sensor. I don't know what will happen to those who self-fund.Hi
Are you with Greater Glasgow HC and is the 670G on NHS? My 640G is due replacement Nov 2019 (although I believe the 3 year gets stretched to 4) and I am hoping they will replace with 670G by then. I am on libre as well but would happily give that up in favour of Enlite sensors, even if it means part self funding. Thanks
Thanks for the response. Comforting to know the 670G will likely be the replacement. I can then argue the toss about sensor funding. CheersYes, greater Glasgow and Clyde.

I did start the above post with "All going well" but unfortunately I''ve just had a call from my DSN telling me that our training has been moved from tomorrow to next Wednesday, as the 670Gs are still in Holland. I automatically asked if this was due to Brexit and she said that was the first thing she asked. Apparently it's nothing to do with Brexit but I don't know what the reason is.All going well, I will get my 670G and new Enlite system tomorrow.

The enlites last 6 days and sometimes you can restart them. How long you get after a restart varies depending on battery life. We have generally got an extra day or two out. But my daughters dn has rung to say that she will need to change from elite to a newer type by June as the enlites are being phased out so I don't know how long the new ones last. She hates changing the sensor as its quite a jab when it goes it so I. M hoping it lasts longer than 6 days!Hi @Wodewarrior sorry for all the questions.
How long does the transmitter last ?
For the sensor £42 (special price) for 7 days is quite costly, can they be extended like Dexcom
I get circa 30 days for £50 today, if these are not extendable then that would be £168 or more than 3x price.
