[Diabetes-Talk] MiniMedtronic 780G App(s)?

[etscrivani at verizon.net]

Hi Veronica,

I suppose a call to Tandem might be worth checking into. Only problem for me
which is a big one is that I live alone and there is no readily available
sighted help. Has the change of the cartridge become easier with tandem? I
seem to recall that was a major road block for Tandem pumps.

Eileen, I would like to suggest that you expand your exploration. From what
I can tell, it looks as though if you get the 780G, you will essentially be
buying a fancy car for which you can't get a driver's license and all you
can do is sit in the back seat. You really won't be able to do any more than
you can right now. And the Tandem Mobi is out. It's way more usable, giving
you both independence and better control. I would take the time to connect
with a Tandem rep and look at the pump as well as the app that controls it.
It's a great little pump and you can get what you are really after.
Just my dollar's worth. <grin.>
Veronica

Hi All,

 

I will be looking once again at the Medtronic 780G insulin pump since my
current pump is now out of warrentee. Before I meet with the pump trainer I
want to download any apps that are needed to get the most out of the 780G
pump. The Minimedtronic Mobile was the only app mentioned. Can anyone using
this pump let me know if that is in fact correct for the pump and for Voice
Over users? Also, are there any other apps I should be looking at to work
with this insulin pump?

 

I'm undecided as to weather or not I want to change to their CGM which I
think is called the Guardian. I'm currently still using the Dexcom G6 which
I'm completely happy with. Any thoughts on the Medtronic CGM? 

 

Thanks.

 

Eileen
