The 780g has been incredible for me. I’ve been type 1 for 44 years and have had Medtronic pumps for almost 20 years. I agree 100% with all these tips.

One week of using the Medtronic 780G pump, still adjusting to using this system. 20 years of manually injecting insulin, this a step in the right direction.

I just upgraded to the Minimed 780G system and I love it! So far, it's working great for me. Thank you, Minimed and to my local tranir, who was diligent in contacting me! Otherwise, I would've just dismissed her calls as spam or something that I wouldn't have believed that I had time for.

I too have been woke up for low blood sugar only to find out that my blood sugar is not low. Usually, this causes me to receive another alert saying "calibration not accepted." Then I have to wait for two hours in order to test again. It should work right the first time, then I wouldn't have to go without sleeping for hours at a time.

The tip about possibly bolusing if your blood sugar is high, but on smart guard, it is very frustrating since you have to get out of smart guard to do it.

I love my Medtronic 780G insulin pump, it is a great delivery system for my insulin. Having said Guardian 4 is a poorly designed product that is very User have attended the training....read the the videos and my first few months with the Guardian 4 were extremely difficult. After going through all the training, I called the 800 line to get some advice on why I was having the tech I spoke with You should ALWAYS have another person help you with the insertion does it say that in the needs to be a better CGM to the LIBRE 2, which gives me a reliable CGM with a 2 week life span. Medtronic...you are losing your leadership role in the CGM marketplace....

Question, I'm getting a lot of low alerts. I tried to do suspend on low, and it does not allow me to do this. Why is the pump smart enough to give extra insulin but not smart enough to back off on basal if going low?

[zachcasto]

Thoroughly disappointed in guardian for sensors. Everybody talked about how great the new 780 G is and they finally have a sensor Gaurdian 4 that’s amazing. I’ve been on the pump for roughly 2 months now and I’ve yet to have 1 sensor not fail on me. It’s also has extremely painful insertion. The sensor requires way too much time & work trying to get tape just right while keeping sensor in your arm and you can only insert it in the back of your arm. I can’t tell you how thoroughly disappointed I am. The pump mechanisms and infusion set. Seems like they haven’t changed in 20 years, but they need to start over from scratch on the sensor in my opinion.

The problem i had is that they added a misleading ad to view the video.

You do not have to get out of smart guard to bolus. I do it all the time. You must enter esimated CARBS to get bolus amount. Cant enter bolus amount directly as with manyal mode.

Anyone know what to do with it to swim? Can we swim with it or need to take it off

I wish I could comment photos because I am continually woken up at 3:30-4:00 am with low blood sugar alerts because this amazing pump is overdosing me on insulin I fear it's going to cause me to have a seizure! It's NOT as smart as it should be. You claim all I have to do is let it have control but I'm losing sleep because of this!
