[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2230313, member: 503481"] I have used both Dexcom and Medtronic guardian sensors. While Dexcom doesn’t communicate with any pump and doesn’t require calibrations and Medtronic guardian sensors does communicate with 670G and requires calibrations to keep its accuracy, both sensors does have its issues - connection problems, adhesive issues (both don’t stick very well on my dry skin), accuracy at the beginning and end of its life varies and the list goes on. Medtronic 670G has a set target range on auto mode, so far I have found it challenging at the beginning but auto mode has kept me in range with its micro boluses and auto basal. But 780G is coming out soon in the US, so you might ask if you could upgrade to 670G and see if you can upgrade again when 780G comes out. 780G has a different target range, apparently lower and adjustable. I haven’t had any issues with the 670G, issues I had with it was my settings were not correct and as a woman, I experience hormones do it made it difficult. [/QUOTE]
