Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shannon27" data-source="post: 1560221" data-attributes="member: 429571">I work with a lovely chap called Colin who has a great deal of experience with diabetes, with a T1D daughter and several T1D friends who are using the pump. I've told him about the Libre (having only applied my second sensor last night) and he agrees that its a fantastic way to help diabetics recover control of their blood sugars.One thing he asked me was if there's anything going on at the moment with getting the Libre / other CGM and the pump to work together? I think this would be fantastic for current pumpers, a way to preset your limits so your Libre would send the information to the pump which would then give you the correct dose of insulin. I'm not a pumper myself but I'd like to learn more about it.The problem with this is the Libre's current accuracy, as if there were problems with this then the results could be potentially fatal. There are so many things to take into account when you monitor and correct, such as exercise, temperature, food etc. As most of this information CAN be input into the Libre monitor, it would be fantastic if you could interface the Libre and the pump together.Does any one know if research is being done into this? It would be a fantastic opportunity for diabetics. If anyone uses both the pump and the Libre or another CGM device please could you lend some advice that I can pass on to him?Thanks!Shannon x</blockquote>
