the time to choose my next pump is getting closer now and
I need to start thinking a bit more about it.

A major consideration for me is now (and has not been before) to make more effective use of the Libre facilities in working out my Bolus insulin. I currently use the Combo which I have no issue with except that the only way to get a BG reading in it is to do a finger prick test.

I was in a T1 Family Weekend event and surrounded by people with T1. Many were able to enter the reading from their Libre into the Bolus calculator, with some. Asking a slight adjustment based on arrows and time lag. No finger pricking. BUT also no bluetooh5h connectivity and remote bolusing so I would need to access my pump.

Enough waffle.
Questions
Are there any pumps with Bluetooth and the ability to enter BG manually?
I am drawn to the Medtronic. Does anyone who uses that have any gripes about it?
What others have people used that allow a manual entry of BG?
 
Medtronic pumps will certainly allow you to input BG (or Libre readings) into the bolus wizard.

Of course you wouldn’t get the hypo-busting benefits of Smartguard without using Enlite sensors - which you would almost certainly have to self-fund.

I’ve used the 640G with Libre though and found it a very effective combination.
