[QUOTE="Minnie_19, post: 1473405, member: 123429"] Hi I am currently on a trial using the elite sensors with 640g medtronic pump and I must say i'm impressed. I had an issue initially but I think thats because I bled when the sensor was inserted. 2nd attempt and with a delayed time until the sensor was connected it seems to be pretty accurate. As I have the 640g it uses the smart guard technology to suspend my insulin before hypo which has only happened once so far but helped me to see a pattern and make changes to my basal rate. I have been quoted for a starter pack of 5 sensors (which need changing every 6 days) and a transmitter for £585. I would love to fund it longer term but I think I may have to dip in and out a bit which is disappointing. Who knows one day it may be cheaper to run but I doubt it will be ever free on the NHS. Does anyone know who uses the elite system if you notice a difference when the sensor is inserted and left to "rest" several hours before connecting the sensor? The first sensor I tried was initially 5mmols out most of the time and then failed, I'm not sure if it was related to the trauma from the insertion or not. However with the next sensor I inserted and then waited 6-7 hours before turning the connection on it was pretty spot on from the word go. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks Helen [/QUOTE]
