for the run-in-period
things i like about medtronic's 670g with enlite sensor:
-insulin to carb ratio is adjustable by TENTH of units, a HUGE help as my I:C ratio is very high at 1 unit to 4 carbs
-basal rates are adjustable by .025 units
things i like about my omnipod/dexcom:
-no tubing to get caught on doors & easy to wear anything i want without considering my insulin pump
-the dexcom can be calibrated at any blood sugar, any rise rate, and remains very accurate if <225 mg/dl
for the start of the study (no SmartGuard Auto Mode yet)
things i love about medtronic's 670g with enlite sensor:
-predictive low suspend is AMAZING; the pump automatically turns off (can be overridden) and automatically turns back on when blood sugar is back into a safe range
although the pros and cons of every insulin pump/cgms are highly individualized, i'm interested to know what pros and cons other persons with diabetes see with these systems or others. please feel free to comment below!
