Medtronic smart guard 780g hypos

It’s very early days, smart guard does take a week to fully learn about you. As above, you can change your smart guard target to be a little higher, correction factors do nothing in smart guard but you may need to also look at changing your carb ratio. You can also change your Active Insulin Time which may stop it giving you a correction so soon. Medtronic recommends you have it on 2 hours. For some people that’s too short but others it works well, it’s trial and error, you can change it in 15 minute increments until you find a good balance.

I would also look at what you’re treating your hypo with, I’ve found you don’t need nearly as much hypo treatment with smartguard active because it stops giving you insulin if it thinks you’re going low so it may be that you’ve taken a little too much treatment and because you have no insulin on board you’re going in the opposite direction.

I would wait at least a week though before making any changes to anything to give it chance to figure you out.

Corrections don’t matter in smart guard which is probably why it wasn’t mentioned. Smart guard works out how much insulin to give you to bring you down based on your Total Daily Dose and your previous weeks history.

Make sure you have your low alarm set up correctly in Alert settings (Settings, bottom right cog symbol, alert settings). Mines set to alert me at 3.8.

If it alerts I am low I always do check with a finger prick to make sure it is reading correctly, especially at night as you can get compression lows from laying on the sensor.
