[QUOTE="Bluey1, post: 1691384, member: 36344"] I have the Medtronic 640g. I also have the enlite sensor. WOW is all I can say. It has prevented a number of hypo's at night, I'm still being adjusted so there is a small chance of me having Hypos. The Smartguard kicks in and job done. Although it indicates on the screen that it has stopped insulin supply it doesn't wake you or disturb you if it can prevent the hypo from occurring. Stuff up the carb counting and you will still get a hypo through a bolus, the pump goes mad before well before the Hypo actually occurs, so you can correct it. I had a problem sensor that was reading low. The pump kept waking me at night telling me I was going low. I know it would wake me during a real hypo, no doubt about it. I switched off the sensor alert to resolve that problem for the rest of the night. Medtronic were great and although I'm in Australia, I think we all use the same support team in the US, replacement sensor on the way, no issues unlike Abbott. You won't be disappointed. The Smartguard works really well. [/QUOTE]
