Health Tech First Impressions: Medtronic MiniMed 780g Insulin Pump

By Health, TechnologyNo Comments

I got some amazing news last week, a date for setting me up on the Medtronic MiniMed 780g insulin pump. It was the following Monday.

I’ve had my insulin set up and operational for just over 48 hours and here are my first impressions:

  • The pump is small (see photos below) and lightweight, so much so that I sometimes forget that I have it on.
  • It is easy to use. I only got 2.5 hours training on it and was worried that it wouldn’t be enough. But it was. Thanks to the pumps’ intutive design of both the hardware and software.
  • The difference it has made to my blood sugars has been dramatic. They have already fallen, leading to me spending significantly more time in range.
  • It’s alarms and alerts are really useful and helpful. However I do wish that the alarms were louder.
  • It takes a little bit of getting used to in terms of using the toilet and sleeping with the pump attached.
  • The Senor just works when in place and lasts for 7 days.
  • The App including CareLink feature is fantastic.

Overall, I’m over the moon with the insulin pump and sensor and already seeing dramatic improvements in blood sugars with less thinking and work from me. Despite a device being attached to me 24/7, I feel a great sense of freedom.

Hello Tourmaline!

By Paganism, ShoppingNo Comments

I just ordered this gorgeous black Tourmaline chunk crystal from The Crystal Inn. They sell a wide range of crystals, so if like me you’re into crystals go check them out. Looking for a specific type or size of crystal? Contact The Crystal Inn.

Black Tourmaline is good for grounding, aura cleansing, balancing and protection. I’m going to put this beautiful crystal next to my bed, so that it can work its magic while I sleep.
