Aus based, so might be different for UK peeps.
Anyway - had the 640g since October last year. Just before Christmas I lost it (put on roof of car after a run, then drove off and lost it!). So Medtronic allowed me to "rent" a 640g for the duration of the warranty period (at $180 per month on top of my CGM subscription, insulin costs and consumables). Less than ideal but serves me right for losing one.
Anyway, since the 670g came out, Medtronic have been working on their rental scheme and have just called me to say this has been given the go ahead and did I want to upgrade? Going to work out around the same cost, maybe $30/40 cheaper. Was the first person on their books as technically the scheme is for those outside the warranty period. They're making an exception for me.
So just reaching out to all you 670g users. What do you think of it? In your experience, is it worth the upgrade? Have you had any issues? Do any of you feel upgrading was a mistake and miss the old 640g? Will be using the 640g with the Guardian 3 sensors (the new model). Quite excited but just putting the feelers out.
Cheers
