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...
