[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2359713, member: 465882"] Hi Joe, I enquired about going back onto a pump after a 10 year break in November, on the 7th of January I received my 780G with the guardian 3 CGM. So in regards to new pumps etc during the lockdowns I think everything is still moving along quickly. Training is done over Microsoft teams & if you already have a knowledge of pumps it’ll be pretty simple for you. The 780G is a brilliant pump & when the guardian CGM is working correctly the automode features are really impressive. My time in target compared to injections is incredibly!! But, there’s always a but. I’m finding the guardian 3 absolutely rubbish & when I say rubbish I mean terrible. Before I got my pump I did a bit research and I saw tonnes of review from people in America saying how bad the CGM was but I’d already told the hospital to order the 780 so I just had to run with it. If I’m honest I choose not to listen to them reviews but now I’m finding them absolutely correct. Last Thursday I got an alarm saying my sensor had failed, so I removed it & fitted another which then instantly failed again. On the 7th attempt I finally got one working & then that one failed yesterday. So that’s 8 sensors in less than a week I’ve gone through. I’m seriously thinking about not bothering with the CGM anymore & just running the pump in manual mode so I don’t have the hassles anymore. I seriously wish my hospital had offered me the tandem with the dexcom now because I see loads of positive reviews about that system compared to Medtronics! [/QUOTE]
