[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1690250, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=424683]@philipking[/USER] I can only guess they are intending to switch you to the 640g because it has a Smartguard feature which when used with the Enlite CGM sensor enables the pump to switch off insulin supply when you run below a preset BG level. I use the 640g but haven't had the advantage of using the enlite system due to cost, however from what I understand it is an incredibly clever feature to have particularly if you've lost awareness, hopefully this will recover in time. I have to admit that since I started the 640g 2 years ago that I rarely get a hypo below 2.6 mmol/l, and the majority of hypos are above 3.2 now, I do keep a pretty close eye on my readings though and send them over once a month to my DSN on Carelink the medtronic program so we can review and adjust if necessary, the additional support has also been a great help.
