Been given a Medtronic 780g with G4 sensors and I hate it. Do I have to keep it for the full four years?

[Alistair Wood]

Sure, but my health care trust says it won't be available to patients who signed up for the 4 ear G4 deal.

Hello, I was promised by Medtronic in the Netherlands on 22 March that they would send me a replacement for yet another sensor that did not last for seven days. Still did not get one and i send them a reminder a few weeks ago. The infusion sets are made in Mexico so i wonder if my health insurance company would like me to leave Medtronic company the next time they allow me to get a new pump. greetings, Eduard

Hello, I just send a second reminder to Medtronics in my country that i am still waiting for a replacement for a premature failure of another Guardian 4 sensor. Of course there could be a shortage of sensors worldwide. BUT there are a few more fish in the sea. My health insurance pays a lot of money and insurance also takes a big part from me every month so i expect a correct service from Medtronic. Ten more months and my insurance will allow me to switch to another brand. So still have some time to read some customer reviews online. greetings, eduard

Where are you putting the sensor?

 

[Eduardus]

Hello,
I put it in my upper arm as was instructed by Medtronic '' people '' at the hospital. Greetings, Eduard

Ok, I was just asking as I've seen people putting it on their stomach and having problems like you are having.
