Do you use and like the Medtronic's MiniMed™ 780G?

Posted by drich7 @drich7, Jul 26, 2025

I am currently using Free Style Libra 3 sensors and the app on my phone, but the readings from my phone have been way off from my blood tests. A friend suggested the MiniMed 780G pump system. Please let me know your likes or dislikes

I have used many Insulin delivery systems, Medtronic, Tandem, self injection over the past 67 years of being a Type 1 Diabetic. They all have their pluses and minuses. I use to use Medtronic and liked it a lot. Tandem has a thing called Control IQ. The software adjusts automatically for low and high Blood Sugars.

I have only been on Medtronic pumps since 1992. I’m currently on the 780g using Instinct CGM. It has taken me some time to ‘trust’ it but I am finally coming around! I like to be in control!! Once I completely understood how 780g worked and it is tuned into me I like it. I have had less lows and highs than ever before in the last year.
Wish you the best on whatever you decide.

Dear user,
I have not used the MiniMed 780 series insulin pump. Basically they all perform the same functions. MiniMed at the time I purchased the TSlim 2 Tandem insulin pump did not have those features. The Tandem had the auto correcting dosage over five years ago.
I utilized a MiniMed pump earlier and what happy with it.
