[QUOTE="Yug, post: 2027178, member: 503929"] I tried the minimed 670 pump for close to 7 months, after around 8 months with the Dexcom G5 which I really liked. My drs felt that the low sugar problems I was having and not being able to fell my lows that the pump would help and was touted the newest technology for pumps. I was excited. About trying it. Maybe it’s my age 66 or you shouldn’t teach an old dog new tricks. Or I didn’t Wharton’s to think so hard to control my diabetes or maybe it was for me probably the most stressful time I have ever had with my diabetes. I wasn’t used to having something such as the tub stuck to my body so with the pump every 3 days you had to change the insulin in the pump, along with the tubes Sensor. Then every 7 days change transmitter. Alarms galore. I’m going to cut this short but my thoughts are that for young people it would be better for at 66 it is not what I wanted to deal with I’m retired from a paper mill and the type of work I did and changes from day to swing to graveyard and the shear physicalness of the job I wouldn’t have been able to use it. I love my Dexcom g6 and the insulin pens [/QUOTE]
