[QUOTE="h4kr, post: 2088712, member: 444241"] So, I have taken the plunge.. self funded Dexcom g6 and I have to say I love this cgm. I was on mdi and setup loop with my numbers and went open loop for a week to test. Great to test the app and the interaction with my g6 (pump simulator mode). I had a consultant appointment and he is putting through a funding request for omnipod.. /excited!! Anyway, t1d is on pod.. so this week I ‘borrowed’ one and have closed the loop to test (I know the risks.. but am just impatient!). It’s only been a day .. but loop is behaving amazingly, just thought I’d share my experience with this amazing bit of kit! Big shoutout to the open source/diy community for their time and effort! When I got diagnosed and saw the lack of tech being offered by the nhs I was so disheartened, projects like loop/openaaps etc. fill this severe gap in the diabetes care market. Once I’ve tested this for a single pod, I plan on moving my daughter to loop for the summer hols where I can monitor her closely.. hoping to bring her a1c down from 9.5+ something the dsn/consultants have not been able to do for the past year and a bit.
