Hi and thanks for reading this......
I was woken at 4.30am by my Medtronic 780G high b.g alert. I wasn't happy to find that my tubing had fallen out (??) whilst the cannula was still firmly in place, around 1.30 am and my pump had been giving correction doses which weren't getting to the cannula.
I had to override the correction doses.
In theory, this pump is awesome but it can be very unreliable.
The cannula can fall out at the drop of a hat, but has anyone had the tubing come away from the cannula before or is this just
another unanswered mystery with my 780G pump?!?!

I’ve been on a Medtronic pump for around 5(?) years now. 780g for coming up to 3 years. I can’t say I’ve ever had the tubing come away from the actual cannula. There’s many reasons why it could happen from just being a faulty set to being tugged on in your sleep and coming loose.

I would ring Medtronic just to see what they say, having never been in this situation I’m not sure what their process would be for something like this.
