[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 862645, member: 47217"] I have also found the Smartguard feature great so far. It is a much more efficient way of preventing hypos by suspending basal delivery 30 minutes in advance of predicting my low glucose limit will be reached - my low glucose limit is set at 3.4. The Low Suspend on the Veo was only activated once bg had hit the low limit. To date I've only got to 3.4 with the Smartguard whereas I was getting to 1.8 with the Veo Low suspend. It takes a bit of getting used to basal delivery being suspended whilst my bg can be as high as 7.3 - the Smartguard can cut in up to 3.9 above the low glucose limit - so for me that is 3.4+ 3.9= 7.3 - but only if my levels are dropping very rapidly. The way the pump resumes basal as soon as bg levels start to rise seems to have prevented spikes and it is a much less blunt instrument to prevent hypos than the 2 hour basal suspend on the Veo. So far so good, I'm very pleased with the 640g and CGM.:) [/QUOTE]
