Has anyone used a Vibe as a G4 receiver

Has anyone used a Vibe as a G4 receiver while not using it as an insulin pump? For example, can I put the pump on suspend or would I have to run it with minimal basal to work?

Thanks,

I’m 99% sure that the Vibe only works with CGM when delivering insulin. I think when insulin is suspended, CGM is also not displayed…

As I feared. That means I’ll have to get a new G-4 receiver since I’m not eligible for a G6 until the end of February which I assume means that I won’t see one arrive until late March. Of course, my insurance probably won’t allow to upgrade to a G6 for at least 6 months after I get the new receiver…

Do you have any Animas cartridges left? If so, you could try filling a cartridge with air, set the pump to deliver the minimum basal rate. I doubt the pump would be able to tell there’s just air in the cartridge rather than insulin…
