[QUOTE="dancer, post: 1901343, member: 110569"] HbA1c of 40? Do you get lots of hypos? I've been using Medtronic pumps for over 8 years and have been using the 640G for over 3 years. I was also prescribed the Enlite sensors almost 3 years ago. The pump is the best thing since sliced bread, and the cgm makes it even better! It takes a lot of work and is not a quick fix but it is worth it. Self funding the cgm is expensive. The sensors are supposed to last only 6 days but I often recharge the transmitter and restart the sensor as a "new sensor", to get a further 6 days out of it. I say "often" because I can't do it all the time due to having very sensitive skin. With the cgm, the pump alerts me when I'm heading low, and cuts off the insulin if my BG continues to fall. I'm sorry I know nothing about the Insight, so can't comment on that . [/QUOTE]
