Absolutely not. Who wears this crap! T1 60 years , Zero complications all on MDI.

Has anyone had issues with the reservoir leaking after priming and infusing? I've had hyperglycemia after changing the set and then hours later my blood sugar, indicating a delay in insulin administration. I think the vent on the reservoir/set connection is the problem, but haven't found a solution. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you so much :)

Thank you

R u still alive?

Hi, I know this post was a while ago but it happened to me at 3am last night, myself and my wife were trying to figure out what to do and came across your video, disconnected it still in the tape and reconnected it, it came up with a message saying reconnect or start new sensor, I reconnected it, it warmed up and worked! Big thank you from England 👍

I finally, after years with Medtronic, made the switch to Omnipod (5) that I'd been so excited about... I was shocked how horrible my couple of months with the Omnipod was! I switched back to the known evil of my 770g, with its tubing, repeated inexplicably "BG required"s, etc. etc... ultimately, the real enemy is simply type 1 itself. God bless you all who are living with it, or living with someone who is living with it. Stay vigilant!

Great presentation of using a pump, and asking for patience so the pump adjusts to my body. Thanks

Thank you!!

When u sleep without the sensor on do u just set ur alarm on ur phone a few hours at a time and do finger sticks to check sugar?

Hi Justin are you able to show a video on how to set the dual wave bolus.i have medtronic 780g but for cereal I'm going high on a normal bolus so wanted to try . Regards Marie

Thank you for explaining. I am on Omnipod 5 , automated mode and giving much more insulin compare to the times I used injections . I keep correcting all the time . I will def try the manual mode and adjust my ratios to be lower. Now I am on 1:3.5 I will try 1:5 . The Cruz control was a perfect example . I would never do a cruise control in my car lol

Thanks Justin! 65 yr old type 1. Medtronics pump user for 8 yrs. New to the CGM ( I just upgraded to the 780g ) Did my first sensor change yesterday around 6pm. All seemed OK. Then at 12:30 am I get the pump alarm that can wake up the dead! It was hard to read what the pump screen was telling me (from that abrupt awakening ) so I just pressed OK . After a few moments to collect myself, I then noticed a light blue banner over the Smartguard shield with " sensor updating". That lasted about 10 minutes and then went back to normal. This was a bit disturbing to me (and for that time of night!) Not seeing any vids on this alarm?

GREAT job Justin. Type 1 for 62 years. Used the 670g pump for about 8 yrs.(started with the Animus Ping) Old school so I fought switching to a pump. Now I just upgraded to the 780g. I also fought using a CGM system - more to stick to your body, costs, etc. In my first few days with it and already seeing a diff. Wow, you can teach an old dog a new trick😏 Yes - EVERYONE is different and it will take "tweaking" your pump to suit you life style & eating habits. I'm also a strong believer to NOT use the pump as a reason or excuse to eat "junk" foods just because you can dose more insulin. Keep that A1C at a good reading and live longer. 😁

Hi Justin. I was searching for videos re insulin pumps and found your videos. I appreciate you taking time sharing your experiences with tupe 1 community. I was dx at age 12 and have had type 1 for 46 years. Started with medtronic in 1999 and still wear the model 523 which is about 10 years old. . I also wear the libre 2. I used the medtronic softsensor briefly and hated the insertion technique. I will need another pump in the future so.have started my search. My concerns with omnipod would be forgetting the controller, pod falling off, and skin irritation. Also, I.use the steel cannula now and not sure if a plastic cannula woukd work. Anyhow, keep up the good work. I look forward to more of your videos. I pray God keeps you healthy and happy!

Thanks Justin. Medtronic’s has really pissed me off with the Accu check Guide link meter that comes with the 780G. Contour Next was great. I now am finding out the Accu Check only does BG - cannot send bolus dosages. Am I missing something? Not using my new 780G with a CGM (yet). For now, same as before - test on Contour - send dosage. No need to take my pump out. I get the CGM process but I choose not to use that for now.

Great info. Thanks for sharing! Im going to be set up for the 780g Medtronic pump in two weeks and im doing all the research i can anc your vlog has bern very helpful. I do toss and turn a lot in my sleep also so using this will be really helpful! Thanks so much!

Can you enter carbs through a phone.

Glad it’s working for you. I’m still having problems getting use to mine. Been on for two weeks.

Could completely see your serial num just sayin

On my 2nd Pod my reading went from high 200s to average 128 Woot.

Just got my first pump the Omni Pod 5 2 days ago and loving it waking up at 115 is awesome, went to the training center in San Diego and right across the street was the Dexcom building LOL So they are right by to each other basically. Trying to get my A1c down to 9 or below so I can get some surgeries done and it looks like I can do that easily with the pod 5, only been T1D for 3 years now, been a struggle getting diabetes at over 50 had to completely change my eating habits hahah, still have a weakness for French bread haha.

I just have the 770G MiniMed (new) pump. I would like to use the contour next tests and meter to program my results, And not use the accu-chek bandellettes test . It's not pairing to my new 770G pump. WHY. or can I.

Any advice to overlap the 2 hours warmup between old and new sensors?

Using one Dexcom G6 sensor is hardly a valid comparison. I used Dexcom G6 sensors over 2 years with a Medtronic 670G pump. There are several points I would like to bring up. First and foremost, the Dexcom sensor does not communicate with the Medtronic pump. The pump had to be in manual mode and BG levels had to be manually input to the pump for bolus delivery. Basal delivery also had to be set to a constant setting which cannot regulate the pump with varying physical activity. Second, the Dexcom G6 is supposed to be inserted in the abdomen, not the arm. Third, over the 2 + years I used the Dexcom G6, there was a 70% failure rate based on a 10 day sensor life. They rarely made it the 7 days. Early on, I had a Dexcom G6 give a BG reading of 200+ when I was actually at 57. Fortunately, I am hypoglycemic sensitive and knew better than dosing when I had "that" feeling and did a finger stick to make certain first. Now, the Medtronic Guardian 3. It has been years since I used them. I stopped because of the alarms. Almost every night, it would wake me for a calibration or something else. At the time, my commute to work was 130 miles round trip. Sometimes it would wake me every 45 minutes through the night. I needed my rest. I used finger sticks to input data. The Medtronic Guardian 4 I have retired since my Guardian 3 experience and no longer work. 4 months ago, I discontinued using my outdated Medtronic 670G pump and upgraded to the Medtronic 780G. Because of Medicare and Insurance and supplier issues, I was unable to obtain Guardian 4 sensors until a week ago. I am aware that one sensor is not a valid evaluation, but so far, I AM THRILLED! The link between the pump and CGM system is incredible. My BG levels have consistently been 80% in range of 70 to 180. Several 24 hour periods are 100%. I have never had this record since being diagnosed LADA (basically Type 1) in 2017. If I underestimate carbs for bolus delivery at mealtime, the system automatically adjusts bolus units to compensate based on BG level rise rate. One night after eating spaghetti at an all you can eat restaurant, I bolused for 12 units, the maximum my pump allows for a single meal. Over the next few hours, the pump gave an additional 32 units based on Guardian 4 CGM data. I awoke the next morning with a BG at 84. Dexcom can't do that. I can't do that in manual mode regardless of sensor brand. I highly recommend the Medtronic 780G pump system with the Guardian 4 CGM. It is indeed life changing for my condition. On the other hand, I was able to "get by" with the Dexcom G6, and the manufacturer always replaced failed sensors when I reported it. I am anxious to see long-term performance of the latest Medtronic system.

Good info. Thanks!

I was on the old school dexcom for about 6 years. I moved and switched jobs. Due to insurance, I’ve been off of a pump for almost 2 years. Had DKA and related pancreatitis in December. My doctor contacted an omnipod rep and they worked together to get my insurance to cover the omnipod and dexcom!! I’m SO happy. It’s due to arrive tomorrow!! So excited to get back on it. I’m putting my dexcom on as soon as I get it. Have to to training and stuff for the omnipod 5. My a1c was 6 while I was on it. It’s now 9.9. I keep telling them I need to be on the pump!

Excellent review. Thanks for taking time to share.

Very helpful! I had an omnipod 5 years ago and finally decided to get another pump after doing injections for all those years. Tubing is my biggest fear, but you made it seem very simple. Thank you!

There is one thing I noticed about this device and that is it’s better to use it on Bluetooth because I found that if you set it up on Wi-Fi and you leave home or go somewhere else. When you take your blood pressure it doesn’t seem to upload the data to the app, so I just reconfigured it for just Bluetooth.

I'm glad you're back missed seeing your videos. Love your dogs there great if you need more I have 13 border collies there all cow dogs. I'm on the 780 insulin pump now the only alerts I have set is the low one doing better on it then the 630 so have a great week. See you in the next one

I travel with syringes just in case.

I went to school with your brother Paul the alcoholic

Good to see that your back, you have provided me with lots of info that I still use to this day. Thank you 🙏🏼

I know all about easier said than done BUTT u should read Diabetes Solution by Dr Richard Bernstein the 89 year old type 1 diabetic since 11. He's even active still here on RUclips. Someone told me he charges $900 an hour for one on one service. His book is probably at your local public library though. Long story shortER, he eats very low carb so he doesn't need to use a lot of insulin to begin with. His glucose is perfectly normal all the time. He lives on protein with vegetables. He doesn't eat grains or fruit. Yes, it's controversial and not everyone is able and willing to do it long-term but it's virtually guaranteed to work for everyone who commits to it. You would say goodbye to the rollercoaster 🎢 of 400 to 40 that you talked about. You're a smart guy. You must realize how unhealthy that is. Don't you already have a heart issue? You aren't going to stay healthy long-term if you don't get control of your weight and diabetes. Do you walk a couple miles every day? Are you doing resistance exercise aka strength training at least 3 days a week? Go to a psychologist if necessary but make the recommended changes before it's too late. Many people sadly don't discover Dr Bernstein and his disease management system until after diabetes has damaged their eyes or kidneys significantly. Then once they adjust they are angry that no doctor/diabetes educator/dietitian ever encouraged them to learn his method and put a stop to Diabetes damaging their body. Just think about the sayings about a "necessary evil" and the "lesser of two evils". As they say in the Army, You don't have to like it - you just have to do it. Thee end. Good luck.

Welcome back! Glad you are feeling better

Also sugar mate is a great app.

Going to try automated mode 2-3 more days then I'll probably go back to manual mode... Automated always gives me highs after eating for too long of a time block... Using Omnipod 5 and g6

Great video. I finally was able to get my pump back after 2.5 years fighting with my dme provider and insurance. The automated mode keeps me high. I really wish they would allow more changes to the modes like the loop kit does

I was put on one of these today.

R u still alive?

Nope that pump sucks total joke. Bring back paradigm pumps

Make it easier if you set your screen time to max 3 mins so each pump stays on while doing this. Just FYI

I think iv said before but again iv used a 523 paradigm for 9 yrs and other paradigms for 10 yrs before I keep my A 1. C. At 6.2 to 6.5 and have for years I'm scared to use my 770 g after hearing all the bad about it iv had it for 2 wks. Still in the box. I'm not going going to use cgm I'm sorry but I don't like any more electronics than I have to have. I'll be be using my paradigm till it dies. I don't understand any of what you are saying scared the hell out of me I'm 6 ft tall 189 lbs and I use average of 45 units per 24 hrs iv been diabetic ,49 years I'm seriously thinking about sending the new pump back you scare me with all you are saying about this pump. They should go back to paradigm for old school ppl like me.y drs have always told me every time I do blood work that everything is normal and as long as I keep blood glucose levels like I do. Eat what I want. And I do within reason. Suddenly going back to syringes doesn't sound so bad if I had to do so thanks for the vids. All of what you said is over my old head. Paradigm saved my life I just hope lasts a while longer

It's been a while since your last upload. The new 780G has just been released. Have you thought about switching back?

i have heard that weight loss does create headaches for diabetics. i was on 770g and up graded to 780g the reason is because i have undetectable low BS. one moment walking the next moment passed out on the floor. I am not sure what your settings were at for your 770 but my 770g pump stopped giving me insulin when it noticed i was getting low and also alerted me?? to the point of waking my partner in the middle of night also.

LOVED this video and all true! You're the first one to mention keeping manual settings in good control so they are correct when you go out of auto mode. When I can't be using the sensor I know I must eat before going to bed or I go low in the night. I must correct my settings for that. And also you mentioned being patient with the pump because it is learning the first time you are wearing it. A question for you: I'm always afraid to take the full carb count all at once. If I eat a bakery item for 75 carbs, I tend to take 36 carbs at first and then an hour later take the rest of the carbs or more of them like a square or dual wave. When I'm in manual mode and I take all 75 at once I tend to go low before all of the carbs are absorbed into my system. If I take all the carbs at once with the 780G will it take into that into account so I don't go low before all the carbs have absorbed. The pump doesn't know what kind of carbs I ate but only that what I ate was worth 75 carbs. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you got this video! I have had a Medtronic pump for 8 years and im about to get the 780g and CGM so researching about auto mode and this really was informative and reassuring ❤

You are very confused, man. Next time, please be awake before make a video 😅

What insurance do you have? My son has Florida Blue. Omnipod has changed their supplies from Medical to Pharmacy and the cost in unbelievable. It is so expensive that my son will have to start giving himself shots. Do you have any advice?

Hey man!🤩 what’s up
