[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2343273, member: 465882"] Hi guys, quick introduction. I’m 26, been diabetic since I was 13/14. Never accepted diabetes in my teenage years & always had problems like most of us do. I was previously receiving pump medication when I was 16 & I was using a Medtronic paradigm. So in November after a phone call with my diabetes nurse we spoke about pump therapy again. Having never previously been on Dafne she explained as a minimum & due to COVID a BERTIE online course would be accepted as a way back onto a pump. So after a few days completing the course I got back in touch with them & after speaking to my consultant they agreed to allow me back onto pump therapy. On Wednesday I got the email to say I would be receiving my pump in the new year & will be going live with it on the 7th of January after a 3 hour online meeting. I’m currently using the Libre & thankfully I will also be getting the Medtronic CGM funded alongside my pump. Anyway my question is, how good is the 780G? After joining multiple Facebook Medtronic groups I am seeing a lot & I mean a lot of complains or twisting about the pump and the CGM. A lot saying the CGM is terribly inaccurate & a lot of others saying the pump is also terrible ie the auto mode is rubbish. Most of these people are American as is always the case with diabetes technology but it is worrying when they are all trying to get there insurance to allow them to move onto Tangem/omnipod pumps to work with Dexcom. Personally I’m really excited to start the 780G, the features look great and having the CGM to run alongside is going to be life changing (if it works). I haven’t been back in contact with my diabetes team to question Medtronic or ask about other brands as I know they jumped through hoops and have managed to get me back onto pump therapy within 6/8 weeks so basically I don’t want to p**s them off. Any feedback from Medtronic users or even other brands would be great. Thanks [/QUOTE]
