I’m new to the group. Type 1 diabetic using a Medtronic 780g pump. Been diabetic now for about 27 years ish. I live in Brawdy, Pembrokeshire in a caravan and was wondering if there’s any groups around Pembrokeshire? Please drop me a line.
 
Welcome to the forum @Cackyj

There’s a postcode / region search you can use to try to find local groups running in your area on the main DUK website here:

Local support groups

If you or a family member has diabetes, it's often helpful to meet other people who are going through the same thing at our diabetes support groups.

Though the relative rarity of T1 can mean that local groups are often more tailored towards T2. Personally I’ve found the forum to be a very good way to connect with folks without geography getting in the way.

How are you finding the MM780G? I switched to it last summer with the Simplera sensors, and it’s mostly working really well for me.

There’s an ongoing thread in the Pumping/Tech section where 780 users can compare notes, hints, and tips which might be of interest?

Thread '780 Users'

There have been quite a few posting that they are about to start or have recently started using the 780, so I thought it might be useful to gather our experiences together in one thread, so that we can support each other.

Fire away with any questions about the system and finding workarounds for anything.
There seem to be a few more of us now using the system in closed loop (Smartguard - which confusingly is what they called their previous system which was not closed loop with the 640)

I am aware of @Fio62 @matthewthomas @Annette Arundell @JohnWhi and...
