I live in USA and I’ve just started on my 780g pump and I’m so excited and happy about this! Thank you so much for this great video!

[vadimk]

I am very happy to be a part of a team, that developed this amazing device.

Thank you for the great review! One of the important features of the 780G is the adjustable rate of insulin delivery, 1.5u/min or 15 u/min. I am hoping that the higher rate of delivery will prevent my post prandial highs.
I am currently in the process of upgrading from a Medtronic Paradigm 723 to a 770G. I live in the USA. Also it should be noted that the 770G is upgradable to the 780G via the internet.

I can’t wait, I’m picking mine up on Wednesday and set up Thursday online, I couldn’t be more excited :)

im so thrilled with this news, specially the guardian 4 info since with my adhd i always forgot to calibrate and therefore this type of sensor didn't do justice for me although the whole closed loop system works tremendously. so with this information i have the best of both worlds, closed loop with a sensor that doesn't need daily calibration two times. do you have any idea what predictions are when they launch it? i can choose a new pump in a few months and in the Netherlands you have it for 4 years so its a huge thing for me to be sure to choose the right one...

Had Dexcom, switched to Medtronic, after 4 years and fighting with insurance I am a dexcom lover. The Medtronic was not accurate for me, it was not comfortable, I would wear it closed loop and it would throw my sugars off not by much but saying I was 110 when I was 180 etc. I am five feet 108 pounds. I love my dexcom never will I switch from dexcom again. For those of you that have had a different experience I am glad that you find something that is working well for you. But for me I love my dexcom!

Great update. I already sold my soul to Tandem for the next 4 years so not for me but looks really interesting! Stay safe Kamil!

Here in Canada we receive the news in the world of diabetes so late ...

All of this because of our health system which blocks new products to do more tests.

I have just embarked on the process with my program to have the 'latest' medtronic pump: the 670G.

And 1 month later they released the 780G in Europe ... In Canada we will have access to it in 3-4 years.

I would love a comparison of T-Slim Control IQ with 780G SmartGuard. Needing to buy a new pump and am torn between T-Slim and 780G. thanks

Just been told today that our daughter (7, diagnosed 2 years ago) will be getting her pump in October and was asked to go online and have a look at her pump options and I have some straight to your channel.

I love your videos, you ate so thorough and they have helped us so much to understand, plus they you just enjoyable to watch.

I wish you so much luck in life, thank you xXx

Nice information. Do you have any insight as to whether they will come out with a sensor that's easier to put on? Like the Dexcom looks very easy to pop on but the medtronics sensor takes two people and four hands to strap on behind your arm

[demonstorm]

AWESOME VIDEO !! was just what I needed my 670 goes out of warranty in feb so doing my research now between this and Tandem. So thanks again for the video keep up the great videos

[janetgaidukova]

Bluetooth is a key :) Thank you for the review.

[caseywood]

So I am new to get my new pump tomorrow but I am so torn. I was convinced that I want to get the tandem tslim x2 because I currently have the dexcom G6 and love it. I find it to be super accurate and I hardly have to calibrate. I currently have the Minimed 630 G. I have always used Minimed. I like them but I found the guardian sensors to suck. Any idea if the guardian four is coming out anytime soon and if it will be a vast improvement on its predecessor? Also does this one have Bluetooth? Because that would be cool not To have to connect to a computer for updates. I thought I was ready for the tslim but this video has me back on the fence. I guess it all depends on the guardian 4. Hope you can shed some light on that. Thank you so much.

Tubeless Pump is a must for me so I use Omnipod, Dexcom G5 with Samsung S20+ & S3 Watch with readings that I find great. So not for me here in France. Fell out with Apple years ago after the death of Steve Jobs. Like your videos very much. 💖 Now for some log-splitting ready for the woodburner later, dropping cold here near Bordeaux.

Hi I am a type 1 diabetic since 1964. Today I have a Medtronic 640 Insulin-pump. it is soon 4 years old. The pump is ok, but the guardian sensors are almost useless! I use the type3-sensors as they are aimed for the 670-pump because I thought they must be more reliable then... NO! I am interested in The 780-pump, but I want to use it together with a DEXCOM sensor! The TIDEPOOL team are working at that possibility I have heard. But its not easy to get information about the progress. That solution, combined width a smart-watch is what I really should prefer to have! Could you please check what is happening at that front?

[dixiemhz]

Thanks for the great review. I love the 670G but the sensor is the weakest link. Hopefully the 780G sensor is much more reliable and at least competitive with the upcoming dexcom sensor/tandem system. Last I heard was that the 780 will get FDA approval and roll out in the USA spring of 2022.
