Hi Activity. I have been on a Medtronic Pump for more than 12 yrs but I have only been on a sensor for 6 days before. Now on one permanent ! Its like a weight off my shoulders. For nearly 52yrs I have had to check & double check. Now with the help of the sensor it will STOP insulin getting pumped into me. I was hypoing in the night but NOW no hypos. 1 nt & like it a lot. Happy Bunny !

Before I calibrated I was doing tests. Pump said 9.5 & finger test said 9.3 . That's pretty close is it not. Happy bunny !

It's very close compared to each other (the pump and finger sticks).
