[QUOTE="Mr. Freeze, post: 2710238, member: 589898"] Hi [USER=572091]@Prancy[/USER] Your TIR is fabulous! I am hopeful the Tandem TSLIM x2 will keep me in range too - like the 780G did. Yes, I am disappointed to have to put this $5000+ USD pump in the drawer like an expensive paperweight. The 780G is truly the greatest pump ever, IMO. I look forward to trying it again someday when Medtronic releases that new CGM. People should not avoid the 780G based on my experience alone - which is atypical. Honestly, IF the Guardian G4 Sensors are working adequately for someone (and they do work for many people) - then this would be my choice for a pump in a second. I found that (while not approved in the USA) - that wearing them on my stomach - improved their performance for me (then, only off only by 15 mg/dl - which would have been acceptable) - but unfortunately it did not correct its abilitity detect and give me warnings to my LOWS - which for me - was a deal breaker. Regards, Doug [/QUOTE]
