Medtronic 640g vs animas vibe

Good according to your experience, what is the bomb that gives you the most benefits?

Greetings.

This can be a long and hard debate.Both are aquatic a great advantage, for now the only two in the Spanish market

The 640 g stops in case of hypo, that is a machine that makes a decision to stop supplying insulin without asking and does so as indicated by the continuous glucose meter data if it takes it, 100 % reliable glucose meter does not exist, but neither MCG nor glucometers either.

The Animas Vibe warns you with its alarm and you make the decision to stop it or not, that must be logical and more sitato although its MCG is one of the most reliable to verify capillarily.

Now this is the main theme, the happy bubble word.Why does 640 g have to bubble and go crazy to its users?That if not everyone is true but the vast majority have them crazy having to check itbody heat?.

To see data in the cloud the two need the XDRIP system, none does it on its own, although this really has nothing to do with the pump but with its MCG, since if you do not want it because we cannot compare this part.

Because the Medtronic House does not worry more to solve this problem to everyone and look for solutions instead of so much commercial campaign to sell its microinfusora.This is an issue that I particularly believe that Medtronic fails, the word "sale" can above all, being the most put in the market they do not care to solve their problems.

The two are good bombs, they have many programming functions and their screens give an impressive amount of information.

The measures and weight right now have them located, to see if someone could put them.

For now I use freestyle and saving its differences with the capillary I find it useful.Jconegar I think I have read that you wear the animas, right?

It hurts that many of Spain do not have option to other market bombs.I don't like the Medtronic.

Medtronic 640g 137 Great weight with the reservoir on and 120 insulin units.
Measures
Width 53 millimeters.
High 87 millimeters without counting what the 95mm reservoir goes to tell it what appears and 102mm with the reservoir on.
Deep 24 millimeters and 33 millimeters if you tell the belt clamp.
I don't know her.

Thank you very much for your contributions, my endocrine told me that the SS supplied 3, these two and one more, I think that of Roche of which I have not heard anything.He also told me to inform me to decide.I am from Seville, I have read you that according to the community you can choose or not.I understand that in Seville yes.Someone from Seville with bomb?Greetings

Roche's I think it's called Acu-Chek Combo and has command to put the bowling

By the way, the 640 Medtronic The glucometer is also command to put predefined and manual bolus.
You can not put them with the glucometer.

Forgive but could you explain to me about bolus predefined, manuals and wizard?
Thank you

@Fco_javier_8888
The pump has a menu with the option "Bolus predefined" You come several names breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack then continue with Bolus 1, Bolus 2 .... (All this predefined)
In these bolus you put the amount of insulin you want.For example at breakfast you put 4 units.Well, you always have breakfast the same rations you can choose in the Bolus /predefined glucometer and choose breakfast.
Inconveniences;You cannot correct and you have to have the same rations breakfast.
Advantages: If the glucose is between the limits and breakfasts the same, you can without taking the bomb where you take it, administer the insulin.

The manual bolus: choose the amount of insulin according to what you are going to take and what you have of glucose is like when you put the fast before the meals with the bowl.(You can also do this from the glucometer) You can put yourself from 0.1 units to .....

The Wizard Bolus can only be used from the pump, it is according to the glucose you have, the rations or carbohydrates that you are going to take and the active insulin that you still have the machine calculates the units that you should put on.But to use this option you have to program several things such as:
Ratio/rations (the insulin units you need by HC ration) there may be several
Insulin sensitivity (what each insulin unit goes down the GS) there may be several
Glucose objectives (among you want to have example 80-120) can put several (80 120 from day and before going to sleep 140-160)
Duration of active insulin (which lasts the fast insulin).I have it in 3 hours but you can put more or less but only one duration.
At first this all this "guides" your doctor and then you modify it or not.

Thank you very much for the explanation.

Hello good,;And have you given you the option to choose from?
How long has it taken since your endocrine made you the favorable report?

Thank you

I use 640g.The truth is that I like it a lot, I hardly withdraw it at all, I bathe with her on the beach and at home and I see it a spectacular advance.It is true that I don't know any more, and they didn't give me an option to choose from.Nor have I had the big problem of bubbles, and that in the Canary Islands is hot: p hehe.

If it is true that I am investigating the anima since it synchronizes with McG Dexcom and is the one I use.The same representative of Medtronic told me that his MCG with the DEXCOM has no competition.Dexcom is quite precise.And really that the pump stopped by hypoglycemia that can be true or not, I don't like it.

@"Fco_javier_8888" Well no.It is the one hahaha and for my DPM xD.The endocrine requests it with the reasons that are and subsequently has to value a medical court.Between some things and another 6 months ...

I appreciate your comments.Every day I learn.And it is seen that this is a background race.

Good do you know if this one will also have a command to apply the bowling how do they comment on the Medtronic?

Greetings

@Fco_javier_888 The 640g As @Marcos_J_m that they are going to put is the new model in Spain of Medtronic or Medtroni 640g that is like the one I have put in the photos the only thing that changes between them is the color where the buttons go (Mine is blue}.
The glucometer he uses is Bayer with a Next Link 2.4 tour is the one that is commanded and also sends the results of blood glucose.
Before I had the paradigm I also see from Medtronic that there are still people who continue to carry them, here the glucometer only sends the glucose data when you perform the test is from Bayer and it is called Contour Next Link are similar are differentiated by 2.4 eachOk for your bomb model.
And in the US, the Medtronic 670g that is something more modern but is in Spain is not marketed
