I woke up this morning to my pump having stopped delivery. It was suspended and told me I needed to change my site and get more insulin. Furthermore, it asked me to reset the time & date. What might have caused this? My site is only a couple days old, I had plenty of insulin left, and the battery life is good.
Just tried Simplera sensor for the first time. Trying to pair to my 780G I get:
Device not compatible
Device cannot be used with this pump.
AFAIK, the 780G is compatible with Simplera, am I missing something?
3rd sensor failure within a week, all on the back of my upper arm. All started normal with the 2 hour warmup and no cutting out in between them failing. Anybody else or am I just having a bad run?
Where else are we putting them and actually getting the 7 days use out of them? I’m sick of ordering replacements 🥴
I’m in Australia
So I've searched and found nothing around here.
In Portugal there's an app that shows the carbs related to the weight of foods It's very helpful but it requires you weight your plate.
I've seen and used some apps that through AI do that for you. With my experience of eye balling some work better than others. Some scare me and the assurance is mostly wary. While I use some with me, I'm always skeptic when using with my diabetic toddler.
What do you use and how confident in the results are you? I've used Carbcamera and sometimes the results kinda scary me.
Edit: I am speaking about apps that through a photo do the carb counting for you
Hi guys , I used novorapid for years. I had an appointment and my nurse said try this , you may get stinging so be prepared. I usually wait 20 mins for novorapid before I eat. On this I heard max 10 minutes? Some say at the first few melas don’t even wait anything
Hi guys its my first time going to a water park with my pump and i dont know what to do
I hae to disconnect it so it doesn’t get broken in the water and games, but when i disconnect it and go to like take a shower in 15m it start shaking and beeping so i am afraid if i leave it in a locker they will think its a bomb or get stolen any tips or help is appreciated
I'm so tired of this crap. Can't even get a full night's sleep.
Has anyone found a rotating clip case that fits the new 780g pump?
Not the software update but the actual new pump. Its slightly bigger
Do you agree that Medtronic needs to open their CGM data to write to Apple and Android so you have easy access and integration?
Context, this capability is true for every other popular CGM on the market. Libre 3, Dexcom, and Eversense 365.
Comments are your voice.
Given the warranty is just one year, how long do you typically use a transmitter before replacing?
They called me at the one year mark to warn me of the warranty expiration , I felt compelled to purchase a replacement ($1000USD). The replacement stayed in the box until they called me a year later to tell me it was out of warranty. They were completely unwilling to extend the warranty of the unboxed transmitter.
Some say she is still waiting for her “very important call” to be answered lol
Does Anyone elese have this combo? and is it working for you? - and HOW did you get it to work
for the life of me i cannot get it to pair properly.
it WILL reach Pairing Mode (Which means both devices are reading other)
Pairing type : Mobile Devices
SN: Mobile XXXXXX
But it fails last 5 seconds (failed to detect device + failed to pair) on both the app and pump, despite both reading eachother fine otherwise. - i've called medtronic and have an appointment with my pump rep, but its not for another two months.
I've Tried:
Phone: Redmi Note 50
Pump: 780g
Due to my first Instinct sensor failing while in hospital in the middle of the night, my change is at 1:30 am every 15 days. I can’t start one early as I get mine shipped on tight schedule. Will it throw off majorly or make SG stop if I delay one til morning and be without it a few hours? I don’t know how to reprogram.
780g said I was 50ish around 8:30. Tested and was at 115, entered 115 in the pump settings. Pump asked me to confirm it again, tested and it was still close to 115. Then it sent me up to 400+ for a while. Then took be back to the 50’s around 11 (but I was actually about 140) and bumped me up close to 200 (I was still at 140ish).
Eventually, the Instinct sensor moved me to where my finger sticks were registering around 110 …. This is from the Sweet Dreams app, but it pulled the data from Carelink which showed no readings on the pump for that strange period. If memory serves, the MM pump doesn’t register when it thinks BGs are in the 400+ range.)
When it works, it works wonderfully. When it doesn’t look right, I test… I’m about 6 days into a new instinct sensor on my arm, routine light breakfast, no compression lows, nothing unusual happening….. sigh… I feel like I’ve regressed to the MM508 days with multiple finger sticks all day…. Back in sync now….
Hello, I've sent an e-receipt to order my quick sets for my insulin pump a week ago, and I just got an email, that basically says there won't be any quick sets until the end of July.
I don't know what to do, I have only 5 left and I don't really want to go back to taking insulin the old fashioned way (pen). Mostly because I'm gonna have a surgery in few days and I want to have the best results.
Here is what CareLink was showing when Sweet Dreams had me at 782. Ultimately the system has corrected to 94 over the past 8 hours (finger stick currently shows I’m at 110).
Yes I did have a light breakfast (40g carbs - same thing every day) and a standard bolus a bit after 9 a.m. Instinct sensor showed low, finger stick showed normal, CareLink went blank but sent readings of 782 to the Sweet Dreams app during that period. Separate from the SD issue, the finger sticks are still way off from the Instinct sensor. (A month ago, this was flipped. Instinct showed I was around 100 but finger stick had me at 60
AFTER downing TWO 12 oz regular sodas and consuming a 50g burrito).
Moral of the story: listen to your body, keep a test kit nearby and don’t rely on the pump for accurate readings.
I’ve put 3 infusion sets in and all 3 cannulas have been bent what do I do? Please help
I know this is not exactly a new topic, but Simplera has finally become available through my health service. For those of you who have had significant experience with both G4 and Simplera, how do you compare them? Accuracy, convenience, duration, etc.
hi, all I am due for an upgrade at the end of July and I just learned about the MiniMed flex. The concept of it not having a screen is very scary to me, but I understand that most insulin pump companies are starting to move in this route where it’s all gonna be iPhone and app based it’s more of the daily lifestyle for me like having to pull out my phone and yoga to look at my blood sugars, etc., rather than having it on my pump, but I think I’m gonna go for it and embrace this new technologies since it’s a shit or get off the pot situation
I’m wondering if anyone has it and what their thoughts are on it I’m most likely gonna get a new phone for this so that I have the best working equipment
So ive finally been approved to go onto medtronic and have my training session on wenesday in London (yippee)
It has been a bit of a rush to get my funding etc etc
I finally got 2 boxes worth of stuff on friday... but no pump in sight
Just simplera sensors and reservoirs... and batteries????
So the medtronic 780g is completely missing alongside other stuff
Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone advise please? Im so lost on what to do, I messaged my nurse but it was too late on friday to even get a response
My clinic has explicitly told me that I need to bring insulin, the pump consumables and the actual PUMP on Wednesday
