You need the covers the stick to the sensor and around it my wife used one with just the hole in the middle and less than 2 hours the whole entire sensor just popped right through the donut and came out

Use alcohol wipes to remove the residue

Thank you all so much for your interest and entries!!

Would definitely love to read this. Such a fun interview! I have been Type 1 for 42 years!

I would LOVE to read this book! I’ve been following you for so long and I’m T1D myself☺️ never really felt like I had support outside of watching your videos🙏🏼❤️

Should help diabetics

Would love to read this! Great interview between 2 such nice women! It was a very inspiring interview and just seemed like a relaxed conversation between you guys!! I’ve been type 1 for 38 years and my 19 year old was dx’d at age 2. Christian fiction is my fave genre too, so I’m very excited about this book and contest!! ❤

Thank you, God is good!

They guarantee the sensor for only 5 days. I’ve only had one sensor that lasted the full 7 days. Dexcom and Libre sensors are really not much better. The weakest link in the system is the sensor

Guardian 4 is just now available in Canada. My dd is excited to try it. She has had allot 9f problems with the guardian 3 sensors failing often. Customer service is always great about replacing them but it is a pain to call every time.

I definitely want to read this book. My son has had T1 since he was 2 and he is 17 now. It has been a roller coaster!!

Can’t be more troublesome than a tube hanging around all the time.

Great interview and book details. Sounds like a great book.

Looking forward to reading this!

I so glad that this book is about diabetes and faith.

Thanks Chelsey for writing this book. My T1D is in college and is a part of CCF (Campus Christian Fellowship). I can’t wait for her to read it since she will probably be able to relate to part of it. Congrats on the book!

would love the book!! i only have insta!❤

you should read Love Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood. The main character is diabetic but it isn’t the main plot.

Sounds like a good book, nice to get more insight on diabetes

Hopefully this helps new diabetic ppl. Hugs ♥️ 🤗

Same here

My pods won’t last the full 3 days. 😢

Looking forward to hearing more!

Thanks just put on g7, I appreciate you😄

The 780G/Guardian 4 was built to impress the Shareholders & to cover their Malpractice. The Extraordinary Engineering never had the user in mind

The best things about using the sensor 4 is that it works well with my Medtronic’s pump. The first day is a pain. It may require multiple finger sticks and often will go through a sensor updating processes at least once something more. I put in a new sensor at noon, and it only started to operate correctly at 11 pm. I went through so many sensor updates. Once it’s connected and working well, I never wake up with a BG lower then 120!

I love Medtronic pump & Smart Sensor

You are an excellent instructor!

I'm going to order me a new one that way I will have two in case I lose one I'll have another one allergic to shellfish 🦐

Just keep going it’s ok I have diabetes aswell it’s hard but we can mannage

Been on medtronic for 2 years. Hate hate hate them.. this 780 pump NEVER stops beeping, wakes me up at least once a night, usually more, meh accuracy... the endless alarns are my biggest complaint, beep for calibration, beep youre low ( but after eatimg so passing UP past the trigger point) or BEEP youre high ( passing down past high trigger ) ohh yeah, it often fails early. Also wtf is up with the stop bolus ? If you accidentally were giving too much insuling and want rmergency stop of delivery its a multi step process. Bolus - stop bolus - are you sure? Right click, "yes" No testing at all i think, how does emergency stop take so many steps while its still dosing? Also, have been in range ( auto mode ) 87% of the time for over 3 months according to the pump.. jusy got my a1c results, my a1c is 8.7mmol.. so no, not in range at all.. pump cgm lying I alsodont for the life of me understand why i cannot just give insulin, gavr to lie to the pump and input carbs... why would you taje away a diabetics ability to simply give a correction bolus dose ?

Thank you for these Opsite Flexifit strips. Where can I buy them? I just got 780 and not like their sensors Tks Irene

Thank you so very much you have been so helpful

I was searching for info on the needle (& I found your account) bc I had tried monitor a few years back that felt like it was stabbing me! It was inserted correctly, but after 30 min it had to be removed. As a person w next to zero fat on body, an insulin pump didn't work either. My new diab dr sent in script for G7 & I'm trying to find as much info as poss 😊

Omg look at baby Danica! So cute

With the 780 you can silence high and low or both alerts. I find that feature extremely helpful especially at night

I just got this meter but struggling to change out the test strip container. Are you just suppose to jump the new strips in there?

Great video!!!

Okay. Just got my new pump and sensors with the guardian 4 transmitter, do I need to take the transmitter off while showering?

I won’t try it. Their previous products have lacked common sense in their design. This is a local company and I want to support them, but I won’t, because I don’t think they have a clue when it comes to …well anything.

Yahoo..1st person who mentioned the clear plastic

I'd like to use this but I just can't afford to.

This is a good tip for just incase I god forbid get diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Late March my mom was worried that I had it, and it turned out that it was a jaurdiance side effect and forgot that jaurdiance causes high blood glucose in the urine.

So does the guardians come through DME or pharmacy ?

I also have diabetes. It’s also type one and I also had it for half my life😕

I do not recommend Medtronic. The user is not the focus. I have had many issues over the years with poor customer service. First when I upgraded to the 770g I was told there would be no cost passed along. Then I was give a 3,000 dollar bill. Until the new sensor the pumps were nothing but constant alerts. This week I tried to order supplies on Monday, was told on Wednesday they are out, after I had to follow up, and cannot be mailed for another 2 weeks. This was with no notice that supplies were on back order or that people should order them early. Maybe it would have been bad PR but at least it would have let people plan for the issue. Medtronic only adjusted their sensor years after the competition did. This is not their core business and as a medical supply company they cant even do that.

Where is the transmitter??

Thank you

This sucks ass

I have a Medtronic Insulin Pump. I used the first Generation CGM they had and upgraded my Medtronic Insulin Pump solely for having the CGM. I completely agree with you. I love the insulin pump. I can't stand the CGM. The sensor felt like having tiny copper wires in your skin. The CGM itself was constantly innaccurate in terms of the blood sugar readings. I went back to using a bluetooth blood sugar meter and just syncing it with my app on my phone. Much easier. A lot more cost effective, 70 strips for $25, less upkeep. Most of all more accurate readings. The insulin pump aspect is the best thing.
