John,
Just spent a week with the Vibe/Dexcomm, gave it back four days early.
The pump menu is pretty clunky, had to alter my basals as it doesn’t allow for anymore than 8 different basal types during 24 hours.
Screen is unreadible in sunlight. Just felt poorly designed and rushed.
The dexcomm (may be a faulty sensor) was always 2mmol out, it also missed a couple of lows, e.g reading at 5.4 when blood was 2.9mmol. This was despite regular calibration. Fourth day in I got an ERR1 error that could not be rectified through calibration, so I gave up and returned it.
Didn’t particulary enjoy having a sensor and an infusion site to fret about and look after either.
Placed my order for the 640G this morning, it’s the most feature rich and most attractive pump out of my current options. I don’t think I’ll cgm full time, so will accept some of the limitations of the enlites and use them now and then for basal tweaking, times of stress etc.
The abbot freestyle was bang on accurate in the two months I used it, was comfortable enough to bolus from it.
Part of me is now consideirng retruning to MDI and using the Freestyle Libe…
