This was Nov 2014 & I still Love it 😉:D
 
Since being T1 in the year England WON the World Cup. I still really "Love My Pump". Miles better than Injecting. 😉
 
Hi long time since I have been on well time for a new pump any iders would be helpful thisAviva Insight is driving me mad that slow was thinking about the MINIMED 670G ant thought also been told that they are asking for funding for the Libre Freestyle for me but I know that there is one that goes with the Medtronic pump and it is avable on Nhs
 
Hello Grandma. Really good to here from you ! Hope you are ok cos I have been in hosp. Miles better now but Intensive Care is strange place to be. Care was amazing but not good for your head. 🙂
 
Sorry to hear you’ve not been well @HOBIE - hope you are on the mend now.

@grandma different areas are offering either the MM640G or the MM670G depending on local training (the 670 is quite new still!)

Either will work with an integrated CGM, though they use different kit as the MM670 uses a newer transmitter/sensor combo. While it is theoretically possible to get sensors for the Medtronic pumps on the NHS, the guidance criteria are really strict, and it is actually quite unlikely. You would most likely need to self-fund which would cost approx £2500 per year.

Either can be used without sensors, of course, though you don’t get the semi-automation of insulin delivery that sensors allow.
 
Am seeing the Medtronic rep & Specialist Nurse on thurs. So have downloaded my pump info to them. 😉
