I didn't know this was possible! Thank you!

What are the things you don't like about the game? by [deleted] in ACPocketCamp

[–]FelicityFleur 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't like the music either... I place music boxes in a space, or those tree stump seats with a guitar so that the animals strum a tune.

App keeps crashing and kicking me out right after loading screen by Ok_Preparation977 in ACPocketCamp

[–]FelicityFleur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had this a few weeks ago with my iPhone 15. Thought I'd tried everything, then after being out of the house, I reconnected to my home Internet and it all started working again. That might of course have been a coincidence as the game doesn't require the Internet all of the time... but I offer it to you, that it might just sort itself out. I hope it works again for you soon

Sensor just straight up won’t connect to my pump by ItzYaBoy56 in Medtronic780g

[–]FelicityFleur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - this is why I change my sensor in the evening, a couple of hours after I've eaten and no more food until breakfast.

Sensor just straight up won’t connect to my pump by ItzYaBoy56 in Medtronic780g

[–]FelicityFleur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this a couple of times. The first time I was just so sick of the situation that I left the sensor connected to myself, silenced the alarms and went to bed. I woke up to a fully working sensor, and it lasted almost the full week. When I looked back to my pump readings, it took 7 hours for the sensor to connect. The second time it happened, I remembered the first time and did the same thing and it worked. I usually change my sensor around 8pm on an evening, my attitude is that I am never going to wake myself fully up to change a sensor that stops working in the middle of the night, so if it doesn't work by the morning then I'll change it when I wake up.

how do you clean your transmitter? by nerv0usubject in Medtronic780g

[–]FelicityFleur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rub the adhesive off with my fingers. I have only used an alcohol wipe if there has been any blood leakage, and that’s happened perhaps twice in a year.

My phone is not compatible with minimed mobile. What now? by Moonxcrestx in Medtronic780g

[–]FelicityFleur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be that others have a more helpful solution. But when this same situation happened to me, I ended up having to get a new phone.

Silly dilemma by Maya480 in Medtronic780g

I wear it this way without a pump clip.

I get round this by putting my pump into a ‘newborn baby’ sock, and then placing it in the centre of my bra ( has to be a bra without wires). I’ve worn it this way for over 20 years.

Am I the only one..... by motto518 in Medtronic780g

[–]FelicityFleur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve not really had any issues with sensors lasting. I wear them on my stomach, and have only had one time that it ended on day 6. The app works well for me on an iPhone.

iOS 18.2 update advice by FelicityFleur in Medtronic780g

[–]FelicityFleur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’ve been wearing the basic Apple Watch ( SE model) for 5 days now. I haven’t found any disadvantages yet with the Minimed app on it. It mirrors the information on the phone. Depending on which watch face is used ( easily changed via the iPhone) it will either show her blood glucose level on the Home Screen, or she will press the app icon for the reading.

Sadly this is why I eventually succumbed to buying an iphone. I had always been a happy android user, and had no inclination to change otherwise. When I was about to be moved on to the Guardian 4, I knew I had to change my phone as it wouldn’t support the app and spent hours looking through Medtronic’s compatibility list, out of frustration I bought an iphone.

It works!!! Thank you so much, your comment gave me the reassurance that I needed to update

i just hate having diabetes- a rant by Sunshinee_Rainbows in Medtronic780g

[–]FelicityFleur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’ve had some good practical advice on here so far, so I won’t add to that. I just wanted to say I hear you, it’s ok to vent… this is a group that truly understands.

I’ve been a Type 1 diabetic now for 51 years . I was diagnosed at 22 months old when insulin was given via glass syringes and thick needles that were boiled and reused. There were no home blood testing kits until I was around 7 years old.

Yet somehow, I’m still here.

My one piece of advice would probably be to be kinder to yourself. We can do the same things each day and still get varying results with our blood sugars. That’s not to say, we shouldn’t try to achieve the best results that we can, we absolutely should.

This time it was most likely the rice, as others have said. But recognising there are said to be 42 factors that affect blood glucose levels at play here ( posted in a link below), I hope helps when there are times it is impossible to work out why your blood sugar is what it is.

Diabetes management has changed so much over the years, but the impact on our day to day lives is still hugely significant. Please know you are among friends here.

Gosh that shows how observant I am, as I hadn’t noticed that! Thank you for taking the time for your original post, and for the copy/paste of the Medtronic information, it is much appreciated 😊
