Definitely possible to have fun in life with a little food. I'm doing a webinar on exactly that in a few days haha. And I think it showed my bolus in the video!

@@FTFWARRIOR lol I tried to see it but you were too quick!!!

That's awesome!! Congrats on that and keep it up!

Glad you enjoyed this one, Elliot! It was great chatting with you on the call today as well

Heck ya! I love hearing that, Congrats!

I definitely have plans for that, but happy to hear that you'd like to see it too! Thanks for your input

Glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed this one!

Thank you so much and I'm so happy that you enjoyed it! Happy to keep making this stuff for you guys. On the note of insulin sensitivity, there is 100% a "right" way to do it, and I do it on purpose haha. It's actually part of the free webinar I'm giving on Tuesday! Are you registered yet?

My pleasure! Congrats on getting the pump!

thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it

Good to know! thanks for letting me know

Thank you so much!

Me too! haha

You found me! haha

FuRoSh1 - That’s not how you use it. You have to Bolus for meals. It cannot keep up fast enough to compensate for large meals. You’ll end up spiking high and then crashing after it bumps your basal and adds corrections. The proper way to manage BG levels is anticipation not playing catch up after the fact. You want a steady curve to your BG history not wide ups and downs.

Cerus98 yeah thanks, now I see that. Updated 1 month ago! Loving it! 🙌🏼

Yes and no, rather that you'll need the right strategies in order to pull it off. Carbs, fats, and proteins all have different digestion "rates" and need to be paired with insulin timing properly. (We go deeper into these strategies in our program so that you CAN eat like this).

Happy to help! I'd say that instagram is our main platform, but we post weekly on KZfaq and our podcast. Our website is www.ftfwarrior.com and you can grab our free training here: diabetesinaction.com I hope this helps!

I'd love to do an update! What questions do you have that I can add to the new video?

@@FTFWARRIOR Many are limited by what their insurance situation is but what is the "best" if you have good insurance and a good doctor etc? Is the newest Dexcom really the best CGM? Is the Tandem pump smarter than the Medtronic? My endocrinologist said the service with Omnipod is horrible. Medtronic sends calls to the Philippines and then you get somebody who may or may not have acceptable English. It's ridiculous! I'm an American in America calling an American company and I have to struggle communicating with someone for whom English isn't even their first language. I wish 60 minutes would interview the CEO's who do this crap to their customers when they are charging the insurance companies a lot of money and this is literally life and death business.

I'm new to Tandem also. Re: the lost signals - please note that the "face" of the pump needs to be away from your body. In other words, facing outward. The Bluetooth antenna/receiver must be in the back of the unit. Also, my trainer told me that the Dexcom signal doesn't really like going through your body. So, put your outward facing pump on the same side as your G6. I made those changes and have only had one signal loss in a couple of days vs. a number in the first day.

@@patyearick6821 you are so kind to offer such important information to us. Thank you so very much. We do do all those things and you are so so right. However, in our case it has not worked. I am praying that the problem was a box of bad sensors. Since all of them worked just fine for the first 3 or 4 days and then started losing signals hours at a time, we think there is a chance. However, I have seen online on a few of the sites I follow about diabetes and tech, a high number of others are experiencing some of the same problems. Dexcom replaced the bad ones and we are on day 1 of the new sensors. So far so good but it is day one. Thank you again though because even with good sensors, they would not work well without doing as you have said.

Worthy Book Journey - Signal issues will be user error, the pump or the transmitter. The sensors don’t have any impact on signal strength.

Why not?
