Hey i'm a 640g user and very happy, nice bit of kit and easy to use, give it some time as with anything new it takes adjustment but will be fine in time ;)
 
Its a great pump but then i will say that as its the only pump i have had. So all i can say is its very easy to navigate around.

The Contuor Next Link 2.4 as you know sends your BG results straight to the pump.
If like me you want a spare meter Bayer/Ascensia will give you a spare meter but it won't be one that will communicate with your pump. However they do sell them through Rowlands pharmacy online for £24.99

they will give you a spare I've had 2 if you say you need a backup meter for the pump

Hmmm. Not so sure about that. They refused when I asked! I had to go and buy one. The policy seems to be "only if the pump is for a child will they give a spare meter".

@brett Depending on timing next year, you may even be able to get a 670G...
 
I argued safety as I used to get very low with out warning and needed it to keep the cgm accurate as it's not safe to rely on just 1 meter, I have 4 meters of 3 types as you can get very odd reading and using meter of different makes allows double checking readings and you need a another meter for ketones any way
 
I have 2 contour links fortunately, and normal meter too, the wireless function is a luxury....lol....

I will take as much as I can get though...
