- Did a little unboxing video on RUclips of my Medtronic Diabetes #MiniMed770G and talked about the differences between the #MiniMed670G and MiniMed 770G system, and what it’s like to see my CGM data on my phone! #PaidPartnership #MedtronicDiabetes

#PaidPartnership with Medtronic
The MiniMed 770G system is for type 1 ages 2 and over. Prescription required. Individual results may vary. WARNING: Do not use SmartGuard Auto Mode for people who require less than 8 units or more than 250 units of insulin/day. For details, please visit bit.ly/36AZC4p.
I upgraded from the 670G to the 770 G6 weeks ago and I have been getting very good performance other than a few sensors that failed early. I have been putting them in my upper arm rather than my abdomen in order to have better rotation with my infusion site. I definitely feel the 770 G is worth the upgrade since it appears to be a much more stable platform. Any type one diabetic who has not experienced the technology of having a closed feedback loop system does not know what he or she is missing!
It’s a game changer for sure!
Brian as regards sensor placement on the upper arm, I'm having trouble picturing that. Is that a one man job or do you need someone with another hand to help?
I use my legs which has been great but I cant picture how to place and then secure to oneself with only 2 hands.
So I’m not a diabetic but my wife is she had the 670 we just got the 770 and I set it up for her it was really easy and user friendly ive taken so many classes for diabetes to understand and be able to help her
That's so nice of you Joseph. I'm thankful for other caregivers and partners like you!
in Canada I received my 770g pump in Dec 2022 the pump is functioning good with a lot of help. the main problem is that the app to hook up the Iphone is very sporadic it keeps dropping the app. not to handy to try and send carelink info to your diabetic care person .Hope that Medtronic will update this soon .been with Medtronic over 15 years they have been excellent. Hoping for 780 g soft ware update soon thick that is a game changer.
Finally received my 770g and now have tentative training this coming week. I’m going from the Omnipod to Medtronic so this is all new to me. Can’t wait to get started 😊
Congrats Dawn!
770G just approved in Canada and waiting for delivery after 1 year on the 670G. Thanks for this video. Medtronic has been my go-to pump since the late 90's and has always served me pretty well. Looking forward to reviewing your other videos. It always makes more sense hearing explanations from experienced users!
Excited for you to get your 770 David!! Thanks for watching
You just won a subscriber brother! I just upgraded to the 770 and I love it! I never used the CGM because I was lazy to start using it but I just started using the CGM tonight and videos taught me a lot. I appreciate you man
So glad to hear it! Glad you were able to learn something from the channel. Stay patient with automode! I have a new video coming out soon about it.
Thank you for the review, I’m getting the 780G software update
So I’m in a dilemma my 670g is soon going to be out of warranty and I was feeling pressured to either get the 770g or switch it to a different company but after your video I feel a lot more at ease with staying with Medtronic. 🙏🏽
Great info. The warm up flakiness of the 670G transmitter drives me nuts. Love the 670 but the sensor is the weak link. I'm reading that the 770 is essentially the 780 using a software update when the 780 is released in the USA in the spring 2022. Other good news is that the infusion sets are being redone to last 7 days. Entirely new sensor supposed to come with the 780 release.
The transmitter on the 770 is much improved, and you’re right about the 780 upgrade being available eventually for the 770. I have used the sensor for nearly 5 years now and it’s not perfect, but no sensor is. It’s dramatically improved since the early 670 days
Just got mine today! I’m very excited to see it on my phone. And see a better sensor. I don’t love the new glucometer though. I didn’t know it had changed so now I’m waiting on a new script for test strips 🤮 thanks for the great video!
Yeah having to change test strips could be a deal breaker. I had to fight hard to get the last glucometer covered. What a pain.
I just found out I’ve been a type one since I was 11 and I’m 22 now and I’m waiting for this to come and I’m super excited and emotional cause my family doesn’t understand how much easier and less stressed I’ll be now that I hopefully won’t be as worried about my numbers now
my 770 should be here this week so excited no joke i have had a pardigm for 15 years upgrade was needed, excited for the upgrade
Got mine today! Can't wait to get it going!
Just got the medtronic 770G and I am ready to return it after 4 days.
I just got mine last week! I’m super excited to use this one for the first time! These days I’m going to be instructed for me to use it! 🤗
I am in the pathway program to get mine, hopefully soon. Have had T1D for 15 years, and been a Medtronic pumper for 7 years. Always good to meet a fellow pumper!
I have 2 questions for you!
1) I am glad you said the 670g sensors work with the new transmitter... Can you tell us if you can also still use the 670g resavoires and quicksets on the 770g? Assuming yes, because build looks the same... but want to confirm cuz I got some saved (t1d squirrel) and want to make sure I can still use them. 🙃
2) Can you tell me if your time in range has improved with the new algorithm?
So excited about the pump and the phone app! Been waiting for this for so long and excited little kids and teens can use it with family members. This will definitely be nice to share with the hubby. We all have to have our tribe! So important with this disease.
P.s. I don't care what creamer you use. Lol. #JustBeHappy
Question -- great display and glad finally here. From the App -- what might be displayed (if anything) on a paired Apple watch?
Hey there I like your demonstrations however I just realized that I have a different pump I am on the mini-med 630g but I'm really enjoying your descriptions and how you're just putting everything out there
Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying it
Hi I got my medtronic 780G today moving from the omnipod pump and to be honest I am scared stiff of using the 780G I hope its just a case of getting used to it . I didnt like the omnipod due to the size of the pod and clumsiness of it and the pods seem to give me sores on the site of the pod. I have got a freestyle libre for blood testing and then the pump . I have been diabetic for 47 years so i am not new to this ,
YES!!!!!!!!! So pumped for this!!!!
I see what you did there haha
Just got my 770 today, upgrading from the 670, which I've had very good luck with. Didn't want to upgrade, but was convinced to since my 670 was out of warranty. Other than the Bluetooth (finally) I'm having a hard time seeing what will be any different.
It’s very similar for sure, I have a video coming soon with my 1 year on 770g update. Looking back it was plain to see a lot of things they made easier with the u/x despite the algorithm being largely the same
Just about to go into a pump, I'm 39 had diabetes since I was 15 and always been on MDI. Hope I haven't left this move to late :(.
Never too late to make a change! Best of luck with the transition to the pump.
Getting mine tomorrow and I, too, hate talking on the phone. Medtronic really needs chat support.
I’m glad the diabetes.shop has easier ordering now. I’ll do anything to not talk on the phone lol
@@DiabeticsDoingThings I’m with you man.
Gosh I wish I had some idea of what your talking about. I had a 670 pump but I had no idea you could use a sensor or what that even is. I wish when I was given the pump I could've been taught by the Medtronic people.
yes! The sensor is such a key part of auto mode.
I have been on the 670g till it went out of warranty .. i just started using the 770g today. I am having a problem pairing with my phone and the minimed mobil app. The sensor is still warming up could that be the problem with the pairing
Were you able to get it connected?
I got the 770G today. Poggers
Congrats on your 770g! What does poggers mean? lol
@@DiabeticsDoingThings Poggers is a term for Excited that people use on Twitch Streaming Platform. I stream there a few times a week.
@@wegreen oh how fun!
I hope it's completely different than the 670g
Medtronic guardian sensors are the absolute worst.
can you see glucose number in the smart watch or only notification ? is it possible?
I don't wear a smart watch but I believe for apple watch the app provides notifications only.
You mean with the 670g you cannot have the bg reading anywhere else than on the pump??? No way 😑😕😕😕
Hi Rob recently subscribed great content your putting out. I wonder if you could maybe put a video together on the pros and cons of pump therapy 🤔 I am currently on multiple injections per day and considering getting a pump however in all honesty I am concerned about ports being knocked or getting tangled in lines at night while sleeping or during husband and wife time 😉. One reason I am interested in pump therapy is the fact I try to stay ( try) fairly active and have highs and lows during high intensity exercise then generally over treat. Has a pump helped with the control of your sugar levels during times of insulin sensitivity and excersize?
I know it's a bit of a long message but hope to see more content. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment Asa! I have been wearing pumps for a long time so my perspective is a bit jaded, but I like your video idea - I’ll put something together!
I got my first pump in 2020 which was Medtronic paradigm which looks a bit like 530g, is that good?😶
I had a paradigm revel for years. A bit outdated now but it was a beast of a pump for its time
I just transferred from the 670g pump to the new 770g pump, and I am currently in the NON AUTO mode so the new pump learn about my body. What is really concerning to me is on the four time intervals that I use for the delivery of basil rates, I have had to cut back 3/10th of a until on the basal delivery got every time interval. With the old pump my overnight BG were right around 120, but for the couple of night I was in the 50’ and after cutting back my BG’s are in the 70’s, so this is not making local sense to me. I would think I would not have to change anything, but it great I’m using less insulin per day because of this, but I would thought there would be no change and really nervous about those overnight BG’s.
Hey Rob, I am in the process of switching from the 670 G to the 770G now. After watching your video I was wondering if for instance you get an alert or alarm on your pump, can you control the alarm with the phone app or do you still have use the pump to acknowledge the alert? Because THIS is what I am waiting for, lol. Once I am able to do this, it will be a huge game changer for me 😊 Still awesome that we can see the numbers on our phones now too though!
I started using the 770G yesterday and it won't let me in auto mode until the warm up is complete. Does it always take 48 hours or just the very first time? My 670G was only in warm up for 2 hours each time I changed my sensor.
Sorry I missed this - the FIRST time you use the pump, it takes "3 midnights" of sensor time before it will let you into automode so the algorithm has time to learn your patterns before it launches.
670g was the Titanic that was hyped, and sank. Just ordered 770g bc thats the only pump my insurance will pay for. 38 yrs type1, since age 5. Minimed makes a lot of failed promises & their customer service has depreciated, but still, like munchhouzens (sp?) syndrome, Im hoping the 770g isn't another hype fail. Maybe we can all get inside the loop this time. Here's to hoping.
Hi. Would be a great help if you can post how to fill region. I’m new on pump and having difficult understanding. Would love to see I’d done by someone on the same pump. Thank you,,,
Are you talking about the reservoir? I’ll make a video for you
I cannot get my new 770G to connect to my phone. Do you have a video showing how to connected your pump and your phone?
I don't but that's a good idea - I didn't have any trouble when I first connected it. What phone do you have?
Hi Rob I’m in Canada and just got my pump 770g set up with a pump trainer yesterday(Sat) and today she set me up on my CGM. My ques is my mini med app isn’t syncing with my phone I have an iPhone 10, once I get thru all the steps it will say can’t find my device. I’m so frustrated. TIA
Hi Cindy, are you on the latest version of iOs? My minimed mobile app hasn't had any connection problems - but I have an iphone 11 pro max.
I have an IPhone 10XR. My pump nurse and I tried troubleshooting for an hr and still nothing so I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Even with turning my phone off and on and same with the Bluetooth option. I will prob have to contact Medtronic which I was hoping not to😞
What's the training on? I'm still not sure if the upgrade will be worth it... Is it much different from the 670?
The pump training teaches you how to use the pump, sensor, auto mode, etc. I answer the 670 question in the video.
Great video! I love my 770G as well and am super optimistic about the 780G update in the near future. Side note - Is that sugary creamer in your coffee??? I'm told by several non-medical professionals that us T1D's aren't supposed to have sugar ;) ;)
Thanks OD! I’m looking forward to it as well. And no I use Califia farms coconut creamer. I will dunk on all doctors! ;)
@@DiabeticsDoingThingsI cheat & count carbs. Sugar-free creamer is terrible. 5grams/tablespoon of creamer& I use 5 tablespoons/cup. I'm addicted to pumpkin spice.
I have the 670. I dislike using so many batteries. Does the 770 use a charger?
770 is still on batteries, but I’ve found the energizer silver lithium batteries work much longer than a traditional alkaline battery - maybe that could help you
Do notifications from the app for CGM show up on your Apple Watch?
I don't have an apple watch but most people say there is a function where you can mirror notifications from the phone on the watch and that the minimed mobile app notifications work well.
Does it connect to samsung watch?
Having trouble pairing pump to app on galaxy S21 phone... Any suggestions?
Sorry, I’m an iPhone guy. Have you tried calling the 24 hour helpline at Medtronic?
How can I be completely sure that the brand and model of the cell phone, which is on the list of recommended cell phones and that I am interested in buying, will work with the Mobile App? I am about to buy one and I would not like to lose the money.

Question, is it true that the 770g pumps with be updated with the same data/programs as the new 780 pumps coming out????
That is my understanding, yes. But I don’t have anymore details really
I have Diabetes Type 1 since 2013 and still Use pens i now want a Pump 😅
My pump is such a game changer for me.
@@DiabeticsDoingThings the problem is that i live in germany i need to get to my docotor and make an applikation to get one and this can take so long :(
@@boombay2470 Germany has a great healthcare system though. Better than ours at least :)
@@DiabeticsDoingThings yea thats true when the application is finished i get the Pump for free and maybe just need to pay 10% or so for the extras. And you have to pay everything by yourself?
can the GL3 transmitter and the pump be Bluetooth paired with the same phone? can the transmitter pair with phone and pump at the same time?
So my daughter uses the dexcom G6 right now is this system Compatible
no this system works with the medtronic guardian sensor. the Dexcom G6 is compatible with Tandem Control IQ and Omnipod
You need to calibra te the sensor every 12 hr?
Yep! That’s right
Can you follow on your watch like with the dexcom?
You can with the 780G system
how much are the sensors?
wish you would have lead with the fact you work for medtronic. it sounds like this sensor sucks and i was wonder why you were trying to making it sound good.
So because they pay me the sensor can’t work? What questions do you have?
@@DiabeticsDoingThings no, because they pay you, you make the4 sensor sound better than it is. if you have to poke your finger a minimum of twice a day but more if the sensor needs then then you should be more upset about that but instead you make it sound super great. i don't expect you to give an honest opinion and that's cool but if you had told me up front you worked there i could have moved on to a video that could have helped me.
@@mikemullins2919 Well, I don’t necessarily agree but that aside, before you heard the disclosure about the sponsorship, did you like the video? Also, I’m trying to do better sponsored videos this year, do you have an example of sponsored content that you thought was helpful? I’m sure others feel like you do
@@DiabeticsDoingThings i thought you did a good job. You seem comfortable in front of the camera and the production quality looked good.
@@mikemullins2919 I appreciate it!
I see reviews for app kinda on bad side. My wife has 670g. Got Lyft ticket for pump. How does home app really work for you personally. Does it really have issue with cone connectivity, how upload to care link (her doctor looks at this). Obviously be blue toothstep away from your phone, it’s going to loss connectivity. So I think large number reviews are based on this. But i would like honest feedback on it if anyone has and can tell me how it works for them would be helpful?
I really like the app! I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max with the latest iOS and don’t have any issues with connectivity for the most part. The care-link upload was straightforward and once the doctor has access it makes appointments much easier. I have seen some folks complain about connectivity with the android phone, but I can’t really speak to that. It’s just nice to finally have an option to check my bg without taking my pump out of my pocket. It’s come in really handy a few times already.
I have an android Samsung galaxy and it continuously loses connectivity. I've troubled shooted with customer support and still have the same problem.
How can I made to see my Blood sugar on my smart watch?
Hi Becky, I don't use a smart watch but I hear you can set notifications from the Minimed Mobile app to mirror on an apple watch. Not sure how to do it, but I would look up "mirror app notifications on applewatch"
Do you know if they can work with Samsung watches ?
You mentioned you were on the 670g for almost three years. How did you get a 770 without waiting 4 years?
Most medtronic customers will receive the newest pump when they are released as an “upgrade”
Do you have to pay for a new guardian 3 transmitter for the 770G?
There is a new transmitter but it was included in the price for the overall pump. In order for the 770g to connect to your phone, you will need the new transmitter. Not sure if that answers your question.
I hope that coffee dont have sugar lol
Haha never! Coffee requires no sugar I will die on this hill
Did you have the 670g? How was the process of getting approval?
I did - my warranty was up so approval process was pretty easy. The setup for the 770g was super easy because it was exactly the same as 670g so I was familiar with the system
I got my 770G for free although I wanted to pay for it.

Medtronic sensors are the shittiest.
