Medtronic 640g Insulin Pump Review | She's Diabetic - YouTube We hope you’ve enjoyed the Medtronic 670g review so far. It stands the pump head and shoulders above anything else on the market, in my view. An even then, can I trust them to resolve it properly! In the case of the 640G, whilst you do the blood test on the Ascensia Contour Next-Link 2.4 (bit of a mouthful that), and the test result is sent to the pump, you enter all the data on the pump, which is where it does the calculations. An interactive online version of this training is available at www medtronic-diabetes com au DID YOU KNOW? The only use for remote bolusing option was really when I was at a black tie dinner and the pump was under a cummerband. The MiniMed™ 640G insulin pump with SmartGuard™ closely mimics the way a healthy pancreas delivers basal insulin to your body. I know a fair few don’t. To the extent that on occasions, I’ve chained CGM readings to calibrate the system when blood testing wasn’t an option. Toch is het vandaag nog steeds het enige verkrijgbare systeem in België waarbij pomp en CGM samenwerken om hypo's te voorkomen. The Aviva didn’t take this into account anyway, so I’d rather not carry the lump around with me when using it was of limited value. Okay. A complete explanation of the technical and operational aspects Ook ik had die perikelen met Medtronic en de aanvraag maar … Accuchek Spirit Combo, Diabetes, insulin pump, Medtronic 640G, Smartguard As I’m not using this set-up anymore (having graduated to a closed loop), I’m afraid I’m unable to video inserting the sensors into my arm. In May, I got my hands (finally) on one of these, being funded by the NHS: Previous to this, I’d spent about 7 months with a purloined Combo, and self funded the sets (although a number of helpful people provided me with plenty as well). But instead of spouting on, let me show my last 15 days averages: That’s right. Fantastisch apparaat! Normal wittering will be resumed shortly. Laat je daarom goed informeren door internet, soortgenootjes en okay … ook door die overenthousiaste DVK. Yes you can cancel a bolus on the Combo (hold ‘Up’) Your email address will not be published. Yes it is IPX8 waterproof. I’m thoroughly grounded in many of the diabetes technologies, and I’m very impressed with this one. Why? To me it feels more modern than most pumps on the UK market. These are as close as you are going to get to an Artificial Pancreas in a commercially available pump system (until the 670G becomes available, probably next year). Placing the sensors on my arm, rather than the recommended location of the stomach area, as I had done with both Dexcom and Libre sensors, I think has been the saviour of this system for me. So, an 80% time period in target range. I’m interested because I’ve been told that it would be the best option for me but I’ve been very reluctant to try the enlites because of what I’ve read; and also because I insert my dexcom on my arm and having looked at the complicated insertion procedure, I’m just not sure whether it’s possible. Why? Hypo? One of the things I like is that the 640G doesn’t alarm when you complete a TBR. The thing that I don’t like is the number of clicks required to issue a bolus. When you’ve put a skin or case on the Combo to get a belt clip, they both feel about the same. In terms of pump functionality, there is very little to choose between the two. Verder is de ruime keuze uit infuussetjes heel fijn. I’ve been offered this, the Roche insight, or an omnipod patch. Kan niet beter!

As for the sets – if you got on okay with them for your Veo it sounds as though Unomedical have made some changes, as they are exactly the same as those. All in all, for me the newer pump interface is the easier to use. The 670G insulin pump has a lot of cool and intuitive features. A simple setting ‘Advanced User Y/N’ that cuts out the endless warnings & unnecessary button presses would have fixed this problem! As I wear the pump on my waistband or belt, it made little difference to me. Most of the complaints listed in that topic are things that I never experienced with the 640G so I can’t really comment. One of the prime gripes I have is with their algorithm on High BGL. In reality, they both provide the expected data relating to history, etc., and allow access to things like event reminders, such as allowing yourself to set blood testing alarms, set change alarms, and the like. The other thing that the meter has is a full emulator of the pump functionality, so that, if you wish, you can hide the pump away and run it all remotely. In spite of this, I elected to jump in anyway. I think this should be NHS funded as it drives a huge part of this pump’s functionality. The only option there is to offer a remote bolus, which is similar functionality to the old “bolus button” you could get for the Veo pumps. All in all, from a CGM perspective, it’s worked well. Like anything, waterproofness is guaranteed when it leaves the factory but after some months/years who can be sure. If there was a pump killer app, next to full APS functionality, this is it.

All it requires is a compare to see if the previous reading was more or less than the threshold level. Countless boluses have been missed because I’ve missed those extra button presses. Inmiddels is het helemaal niet meer mogelijk om een kleurtje te kiezen. I’m still getting on very well with it and see no good reasons in my use of it to think otherwise.

Maybe it’s just a matter of time, but I’m happy so far. Horrible service I have been a medtronic customer for over 15 years. ! Why not? Soms krijg ik vijf keer in één nacht een alarm dat de batterij leeg zou zijn. The pump might be the best technically of all pumps but its the UI that users have to deal with and for me its a failure. Wat Markpompje zegt klopt de 640G heeft veel extra bevestiging nodig waardoor er wel eens een bolus misgaat. Dit is heel vervelend als je gewoon een nacht door wil slapen.

I mention this, because I think it has a significant effect on how I have responded to the Medtronic Guardian Connect. I think physical controls on the 640G are easier to use, but that links to the interface, so can’t be fully separated. The mental arithmetic required to calculate bolus amounts isn’t that hard, and given I ignore anything anyone says to me about insulin stacking (as my experience indicates that the relationship between insulin dosing is additive rather than multiplicative, understandably), it really doesn’t seem to make any difference to understand the IOB, except in very specific circumstances.
