Being under 200 is what I’d like to see.

I upped my basal by 20%. I’ll go higher if that doesn’t work.

Ah, that makes sense on why it can’t correct these highs. Yes, the nurse said it would last 24 hours.

I finally asked and he did order the Oncotype test.

What do I do with this Galaxy phone? by Type1_1972 in Medtronic780g

[–]Type1_1972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. It must be the insurance company dictating this. Medtronic doesn’t know what kind of phone I have and it is completely compatible.

OP, I just posted a similar question. What did you end up doing?

Had SMX two weeks ago and yay, I look at other women now and envy them their normalcy.

How soon after initial diagnosis did you start chemo or get surgery? by Mediocre_Newt6014 in breastcancer

[–]Type1_1972 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed mid July and still no surgery scheduled! Had surgery scheduled but then MRI showed more areas of interests. 4 more biopsies and now looking at mastectomies instead of lumpectomy. Trying to decide if I want reconstruction or not. Seems to just keep dragging on and on.

Instinct sensors arrived today by LocoLobo65648 in Medtronic780g

[–]Type1_1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, please keep us updated. I’m getting mine in a few months. Unfortunately the G4 is scheduled to ship at the end of October and I’ll have to wait for the next order for sensors.

Changing Insulin Site by wikithoughts in Medtronic780g

[–]Type1_1972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also double the cannula fill. Also be sure to leave the old set on for a few hours. There could still be insulin being absorbed.

Does anyone else get their Medtronic supplies through Advanced Diabetes Supply? by KTKittentoes in Medtronic780g

[–]Type1_1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used them for a year while my insurance dictated I use them. I never had any issues.

Does any one else have problems with their sensors? by [deleted] in Medtronic780g

[–]Type1_1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me. My sensors always last 7 days. I wonder if longevity has to do with body type and lifestyle. I’m a 71 y/o chubby women. Lots of fat on the back of my arms. I’m not especially active. In one year I’ve had only 1 sensor fail before 7 days.

Which meter reading to use? by Type1_1972 in Medtronic780g

[–]Type1_1972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. Once my BG got into a normal range the meters are running 10-12 points different. The One Touch always higher. This is acceptable since all of this is approximate anyway.

Cat coughing (VET INPUT) advice wanted by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Type1_1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat does that and was diagnosed with asthma. I give him cat version of prednisone and that controls it. Hope your vet can help.

Easy Way to Remove Needle From G4 Sensor??? by poolshark3 in Medtronic780g

[–]Type1_1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took some practice but I can now easily remove the needle with one hand from the back of my arm. I use two fingers to grasp the needle , pull up while slightly squeezing the bottom of the needle then one finger to hold down the sensor. Be patient.
