The 640G does have different colours but not in the same way as the Medtronic Veo did. My first 640G was a silver one which meant that there was a square of silver below the screen but the rest of it was black.Look what I've just picked up!Not actually attached to it yet but get to take it home and have a play with it. I have to admit I was a little bit disappointed that it's a plain black one; never got the option of choosing a colour, but hey ho, I consider myself very lucky to have got one! ;-)
Hi there I am getting one of these pumps myself at the end of the month this might sound like a silly question does the pump show your glucose levels without the cgm I am new to diabetes only 1 year diagnosedOur clinic are also waiting for the pumps to be delivered too. They do look lovely pumps but as you say, they are very new so it's hard to tell if they are really good as not many people have used them yet. Urgh, decisions eh?!I have heard mixed reviews about the accuracy of the Enlite sensors too. Some, like yourself, say they are great, others are saying they are not as accurate as they claim to be. I am hypo aware thankfully so I wouldn't be having to rely on the Smartguard but I will be self funding and the price is grating on me a bit. How are people getting more than 7 days out of the sensors? Are they just very carefully removing the transmitter, charging it up and then very carefully replacing it and restarting sensor? :-/
You've got to test as usual and enter the reading into the pump.Hi there I am getting one of these pumps myself at the end of the month this might sound like a silly question does the pump show your glucose levels without the cgm I am new to diabetes only 1 year diagnosed
Spicey245 it takes a while,I've injected for nearly 53 years and on my pump for 8 weeks today and still learning all the tricks,I went to my local hospital for a pumper meeting and there was old new pumper there and I think we all learnt something new,or at least I did,apparently they hold these meetings every 3 months for 2.5 hours,there is DSN and Dietitian there.I think this is a brilliant idea.
Funnily enough I have it clipped to front of my bra too! Lol! Yes, was looking at getting a purple silicon skin or the stick on ones (it does come with a black & silver stick on skin) but fancy a bit of purple! ;-) I have heard the silicon skins gather a lot of dust etc on them tho? Can't wait to start using it properly & getting myself all set up!
OK, I've got to ask, where do you keep your pump?I got the stick on skins on the Medtronic website @Spicey245 and love mine... Had the pump over a month and it's still stuck on like newthey have purple... ;-) View attachment 14035
