Saw my consultant and DSN last week and its full steam ahead with the Medtronic.

I'd narrowed it down to the Animas Vibe or the Medtronic 640g as I wanted one that was waterproof and could eventually link to a CGM. They both had different thoughts on which one would suit me best so I tried both and didn't have strong feelings either way.

This left only 1 course of action - a coin toss!

Of course, it was inevitable that the Medtronic rep is away until 9th Jan 🙄
 
The coin has done you a big favour "Ref" pleased for you 🙂. I get my 640 in Jan too 😎

Can't wait to be honest. I felt peckish around 10 last night, BGs were stable so I assumed the food I had around 5ish had been dealt with - wrong :(. Snack was held in a holding pattern meanwhile the bolus was getting to work. I realised this was the case when I felt the hypo coming - 2.2 😱. If at home I often ignore hypos as I know the food will kick in and take me back up but 2.2 is too low to ignore. I woke at 5.30 with a BG of 21 o_O. And to think I used to like rollercoasters.
 
A pump will make a world of difference to you. My last Christmas without the pump (four years ago) but without eating too much because of the gastroparesis, my BGs hit 30. This year I did hit the mid teens but only for a short amount of time because of how I have the basal set on the pump and I woke up at 7.4 🙂
 
Glad you have the pump coming. A bit of work to match it to you, and then lots of flexibility and improved control.
