[QUOTE="Talo, post: 2193590, member: 490675"] Hi all, I lived in Argentina all my life and I have a medtronic 640g pump. I recently moved to the US and they told me they are going to replace my pump for a "US Pump". The representative told me over the phone that they will be giving me a 630g pump, that is essentially the same as the one that I have, but that the radiofrequency on that pump and the transmitter are more adecquate for use in the US. Sounded good to me, until I decided to do my own research on the 630g. It turns out that the 630g does not suspend insulin delivery based on low trend. It only does so if you get to low levels. I plan on saying that I don't want to make that change, but I'm afraid they will say something like they won't give me techical support if I don't do so. Any thougts or experience on this? I'm also gonna suggest that if they want to change the pump they better give me the 670g but I doubt they will make that change for free. [/QUOTE]
