@@CommanderCarroll Don’t be ridiculous. God didn’t inflict this disease on us! Diabetes, and every other disease or condition, is the result of living in a fallen world. But guess what? This sick, evil, fallen world is almost at terminal stage now. Praise the Lord! Maranatha!
As a type 1 diabetic, I hope you NEVER charge for an update for SOFTWARE for hardware that they ALREADY own. That bit at the end made me worried. I'm looking at getting a new pump and if you charge for software updates after Dec 2021, I will be looking elsewhere.
I’m using 670g pump and honestly it looks similar to the new pump except for the 770g app capability which I think can be achieved by just a software update since there is a wireless connection already built in in the pump to connect the pump with the CGM bd the meter. I like the auto mode but it is not as good as the guests were saying. First of all, it is not reliable; the pump kicks me out of it whenever I need it the most, when my blood glucose level goes high or low. Second, it doesn’t prevent me from lows. I have severe lows when I’m on the auto mode. Also, it doesn’t prevent me from lighs too. I think this is related to the garden sensor which is not accurate at all. I’m currently using Abbott FreeStyle Libre besides the Garden and the results of the libre is similar to the results I have from the glucose-meter. Even though the Abbott libre CGM does not require calibration as compared to the Garden. Anyways, Medtronic is a good pump but you can’t really on it that much and it is very inconvenient annoying.
I been on the 670 for four years and they called me and told me the warranty is all done and time for a new pump. I’m not sure what to do. I have the same problem as you. Every morning if I don’t get up and eat something in the middle of the night I’ll go low at about 5 am and it starts waking you up. Same thing when your high it keeps you up all night. When I’m high niw I switch over to manual mode. I increase my basal amount fir four five hours and sleep all night. I think we all have the same problem. I asked the rep why it keeps banging ypu with insulin when it senses you going down below a hundred. Overall it’s a great pump. Better than jabbin yourself. Did that since 1964. All the best.
I was 2 when diagnosed. 58 now. Started on a pump in the 1990’s back before Medtronic bought out minimed. Waiting for my new 770. Been using the 670 for about 3-4 years and don’t know how I survived without a pump
Medtronic CGM (guardian 3) is so big and bulky compared to others on the market. It makes diabetes management so much better but they have to make it smaller.
I still did not know what this red square with the "1" in the middle meant - I did call the 800# mentioned. She did track it down and it means the sensor is ready to be replaced ... -Why didn't I get this for the first sensor? - Why did the first sensor just fail and only give "sensor fail" as a message? ((770G-UI (user interface) still needs work))
On the 670g, that is how I was using it - with a separate Freestyle 14-day system and I would put the BG in manually for the bolus. - - - I upgraded to the 770G and started with a sensor. The sensor failed and I went to manual entering the BG using the up-down arrows. The 770G picked up without any problems. Converting back to using the sensor was minimal effort as well since mine was already "coupled" to the blue-tooth transmitter. I do recommend the "suspend before low" - after a couple of nights getting used to it, I could sleep a lot better. - - - That said, I am having some confusion about emergency versus informational alerts in auto-mode. I think these issues can be worked out.
I have constant lows and highs with my 670g plus guardian sensor even in auto mode. I am an endurance athlete and my blood sugars are up and down all the time.
Chris, you may benefit from a review of your settings with your healthcare provider to help address your highs and lows. Of course, our technical support team is always available to make sure everything is working as designed and can always be reached at 800.646.4633 option #1.
I received a call from medtronic to upgrade to the 770 from the 660 but in the beginning of this video it says it is for type 1 diabetes? is this for type 2 also
Merle, the FDA has only approved the use of the MiniMed 770G system for those with a type 1 diagnosis. Our MiniMed 630G system is approved for those with type 2. If you'd like to learn more, please give our team a call at 800.646.4633 option #3.
Why is there not a tubeless version yet? Are there any plans to become tubeless? All these updates are nice, and smartgaurd technology is great, but will not purchase because its tubed.
John, while our development team is always looking to create innovative products for diabetes management, at this time, we do not have any information to share on the availability of a tubeless pump.
Brad, the MiniMed 770G system uses the same core technology as the MiniMed 670G system, but this is a good conversation to have with our technical support team. We can look into your concerns and see how we can help. Please give them a call at your convenience at 800.646.4633, option 1.
Red, because our apps store your medical data, we do have more stringent regulations to follow to keep your information safe. Because of this, we're not able to authenticate every device and operating system. We are working on adding more devices and encourage you to check our website for updates.
When will minimed get it, two AA batteries make this pump very heavy. Also, I’m assuming, that like its predecessors the battery life is very short. I am currently using an old minimed Paradigm pump. I upgraded once with a minimed pump that had two AA batteries, it was very heavy and batteries had to be changed sometime after two weeks. The old paradigm pump I have runs for THREE months on ONE AAA battery and is much lighter. WAKE UP MINIMED!!!!!
Türkiye de gelsin lütfen inşallah sgk kapsamına alınır ve evlatlarımız daha rahat bir yaşam sürdürür. Hayatımızı kolaylaştırdığınız için teşekkür ederim.
Based on what I read on the website they linked: Nothing at all is different except for the app connectivity. This may (or may not) be a big deal since you'll have all that juicy data at your finger tips instead of having to offload using the BGM like with the 630g.
Kaylan, if you're continuously running high, you may benefit from a review of your settings with your healthcare team. Of course, our technical support team is always available to make sure everything is working as designed and can be reached at 800.646.4633 option #1.
Hi, Vikki. The MiniMed 770G system has not been FDA approved for use by those with type 2 diabetes. We do have systems available for our type 2 community, such as our MiniMed 630G system. You can learn more here: bit.ly/2Lulrei We encourage you to discuss your options with your healthcare team.
Hi, Jyoti. Insulin pumps are worn all day and continuously provide bolus insulin. Our therapy specialists would be happy to help and can be reached at 800.646.4633 option #3.
Great concept.... Horrible execution. App does not work. 1.5 star ratings on google play store. Could not log in... I'm ashamed that I have a MiniMed pump for the first time in 20 years. Going elsewhere next time.
I'm sorry to hear your thoughts, Matt. If we can help turn your experience around, please give our 24-Hour Technical Support team a call at 800.646.4633, option 1.
@@MrWhopperKing Bummer! Sorry to hear that. Sensors never worked for my daughter either. None of Medtronics OR Dexcoms. Had multiple. She's not -as- hyper as she was though so hoping it helps the tech keep up. That said... Just got an InPen as a back up. $30 bucks after insurance. (Unsure what cartridges will cost.) But yeah, just received the pen but won't be using until needed. (Another amusement/water park trip.) Heard pros/cons. We'll see. Best of health to you and thanks for the quick reply.
@@MrWhopperKing Matt why not try the Freestyle Libre 2 this way you will get your read outs on your BG plus you will also get alarms. Yes! I have MiniMed pump but the darn Sensors Guardian 3 are on back order from my supplier. This Freestyle Libre 2 was a perfect alternative to my problem as I have major problems on going low. Been type 1 for 55 years and on pump for 25 yrs. Stay positive and never give up. Good luck Matt!
