780G Pre-work

You have selected the MiniMed 780G and we look forward to supporting you.

There are tasks detailed below that need completing before we can book you to start.

The tasks will take about an hour and must be done with the person with diabetes if they are over the age of 8 years

We cannot order the pump or book the start until the tasks have been completed.

If you cannot compete a tasks contact us and we will arrange a time to work through them with you.

If you get more than one question wrong for the video questions, you will need to re-take the questions. The questions are easy if you watch the full video. The score will be revealed on completing the form.

Thanks for taking the time to complete this form.

We will be in touch soon with next steps or support if you are unable to complete some of the tasks.

If above 14.0mmol/L for 90 minutes with ketones less than 0.6mmol/L change the infusion set and give a correction 2. If ketones are 0.6mmol/L of above give a correction by injection and go into manual mode for 4 hours.

If above 14.0mmol/L for 90 minutes with ketones less than 0.6mmol/L give a correction by injection and 2. If ketones are 0.6mmol/L come to hospital

What is your current daily background or basal insulin dose.

Injections example:

Tom is 14 years old. He takes 34 units of Lantus. Therefore his background is 34units

Pump examples

Go into the pump setting to find total daily insulin and get the average of the last 14 days and see how much is basal insulin.

What is your current total daily bolus insulin .

Injections example

Tom usually has 10 units of NovoRapid insulin with breakfast, 7 units with lunch, 3 units with a snack and 12 units with his evening meal, this totals 22 units of bolus insulin.

Pump example:

Go into the pump setting to find total daily insulin and get the average of the last 14 days and see how much is bolus insulin

What is your carb ratio for breakfast e.g. 1u:10g & - Get from your pump or your 1,2,3 insulin dosing chart *

What is your carb ratio for lunch e.g. 1u:10g - Get from your pump or your 1,2,3 insulin dosing chart *

What is your carb ratio for Evening meal e.g. 1u:10g - Get from your pump or your 1,2,3 insulin dosing chart *

What is your carb ratio for before bed e.g. 1u:10g - Get from your pump or your 1,2,3 insulin dosing chart *

What is your correction factor for breakfast e.g. 1u:3.0mmol/L - Get from your pump or your 1,2,3 insulin dosing chart *

What is your correction factor for Lunch e.g. 1u:3.0mmol/L - Get from your pump or your 1,2,3 insulin dosing chart *

What is your correction factor for Evening meal e.g. 1u:3.0mmol/L - Get from your pump or your 1,2,3 insulin dosing chart *

What is your correction factor for Before bed e.g. 1u:3.0mmol/L - Get from your pump or your 1,2,3 insulin dosing chart *

This is not essential, but will help you feel very confident when you start the system.
