[Diabetes-Talk] Medtronic miniMed 740G

[jamielgurganus at gmail.com]

Hi Bridget!  I am wondering the same thing, since my 530G is nearing the end
of its warranty.  I won't use Medtronic's CGM though, since my sighted
friend absolutely hates it.  He wants to go back to the Dexcom.  He said it
wants a blood sugar more often than not, and he finds the CGM inaccurate.
Anyway, I know we would not need to use their CGM, even though that is a
major selling point for the closed loop system.  My endo really likes the
Tandem which pairs with the Dexcom, so I am holding out hope for their
mobile app to be accessible to us.  I wonder how complicated the cartridge
change really is.  I've always been able to manage something that others
find challenging!

I have an email stating that Medtronic's MiniMed 740G is now FDA approved
for its app. Seems similar to Tandem's app. Does anyone know if the app is
accessible, and what does the app allow users to do? I recently went off my
Medtronic pump and switched to the InPen, but if a pump is a viable option
again, I would prefer to be back on a pump.
