This also solves all the issues I have with the current t-slim I would jump from Medtronic to this as I’m due for a new pump now!. really really pissed off this is just getting released now as I’m also in Australia and no joke it probably will be 2050 by the time we get it🤬🤬🤬🤬 I’m going to be forced into Medtronic again for another 4 years !!!!!🤬

Awesome video! Honestly I was surprised when initially researching Mobi how few images let alone videos I could find of the pump. So this video was just the type of thing I was looking for. I agree that as a pseudo patch pump it feels less than ideal. But for those that prefer a traditional pump and tubing approach this looks very promising. 😊

@DK-do3nm 29 күн бұрын

Type 1 for 32 years and currently have the Tslim/ Dexcom G7. Im due soon for a pump upgrade so I wanted to do some research on the Mobi. My takeaways: I love the fact that its smaller but I do not like the fact that it has wireless charging. If the charger breaks or gets lost, you cant charge it. Also you need to make absolutely sure its compatible with your cell phone. When I first got my Dexcom it wasnt compatible with my 6 month old phone, I was not happy. I literally had to buy a new cell phone. As far as the adhesive pocket I would not wear it where people could see it but It is PERFECT for us girls that wear dresses and bathing suites. Im so tired of wearing shorts with pockets under my dresses. I can just stick it to my tummy under my dresses. However, do to the wireless charging thats a deal breaker for me. Thanks so much for the video, it helped a lot😊

@gloriakerr2216 Ай бұрын

I’m trying the mobi right now coming from an Omni pod. So far getting it reloaded and putting it on is difficult. Omnipod is so easy but … the tech involved with this pump is great and I’ve been in better range but I was in tears trying to redo a cartridge. There are available videos and it customer service but still. I had in house training which seemed great. Just very overwhelming .. but I’m trying. Everything in life is a test.

@jamesmelonnidooley6822 3 ай бұрын

Justin, do you know what processor is used in the mobi? It was supposed to be an upgrade over the tslim X2. Also, do you know the mechanical pump type in the mobi? The tslim X2 used a positive displacement pump rather than a screw drive, which is one of the reasons I switched to it when it first came out. I had MiniMed screw drive pumps for years but positive displacement is more precise and is most often used in chemical systems such as hospitals. When you replace the cartridge in the X2 you are also replacing the pump diaphragm.

@alliemay6076 6 ай бұрын

I honestly enjoy being able to go out without my phone now, just have my tslim on me. I can monitor my blood sugar and give doses (no, I don’t use quick bolus because I don’t like the risk of bolus error). I don’t want to use a pump where I need my phone or another device to control it

He showed it in the video but this does have a adhesive pocket that you just put the Mobi pump into and you can just stick it anywhere on your body I wear a lot of Summer sundresses and I'm so tired of having to wear shorts with pockets under my dresses.

@DK-do3nm 29 күн бұрын

Hi I'm just curious I've been type one for 32 years and I've had an insulin pump for over 15 years since they first came on the market. Why would you want a stainless steel one? They're made to bend so that they move and can be flexible with your body. Having a tube that didn't move would be really difficult and inhibit your movement. Just curious on your reasoning I've never heard anyone say that😊

@fluteloops22 28 күн бұрын

@@DK-do3nm Hi! My daughter is a dancer and can’t use the soft ones, she’s always getting kinks in them which stops the insulin from flowing through the cannula. The trusteel needle is so small she doesn’t even feel it and no more kinks!

@brigitteweymiller2081 3 ай бұрын

Tandem Mobi gives you wearability options and the best glucose control with Control IQ algorithm. Omnipod5’s algorithm is sub-par. Tandem’s Control IQ algorithm is superior to all other current automated systems.

@Lloyd973 6 ай бұрын

I’ve had a tandem pump for just over two years. I am currently on pump number four. That means three pumps have failed. The alarms on their pump are insanely loud. At least with Dexcom 7 you can quiet the Dexcom alarms down(set them to vibrate). The latest version of Tandem software also gives the ability to snooze some of the alarms. On a positive note I do like their color touch screen. Loading insulin is easy and the onboard battery charging is more convenient than replacing the battery on my other pump(different manufacturer). I’d be interested to hear your opinion on wearing the Mobi pump.

@diabe_tech 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the detailed comment! I’d love to give Mobi a try at some point. For now, I’m going to keep using Omnipod DASH with iAPS.

I've had the x2 for 6 years as I was waiting on x3. I got fed up waiting and was not going to purchase the same pump. I switched to omnipod, no more annoying alarms, no tubes, I can use my arms and it doesn't look like a 3D printed piece of plastic like the mobi

@dwightl5863 6 ай бұрын

I have my original Tandem pump from November of 2020. I have not had any failures. One can set the alarms for soft, medium, loud or vibrate. I use all four settings for different alarms and alerts. FYI

@Lloyd973 6 ай бұрын

@@dwightl5863 yep. I’ve got most of mine either shut down or off. The new software will allow you to delay the second or repeat alarms such as low or high blood glucose alarms. In short if you get a low glucose alarm you can delay the repeat alarm for that function. That’s a new feature.

Wow. Before seeing this, I had imagined the Mobi might work okay as a quasi-tubeless system, but seeing that photo, nope! No thank you. If the Omnipod 5 algorithm weren't working for me, I might consider it because it sounds like the Tandem Control IQ does work better for lots of people, but i believe I'll stick with OP5 for now. Thanks for showing this.

Josh, This is really amazing. Do you know what the minimum amount of insulin that can be added to the cartridge when changing out? One of the problems I have had with the TSlim 2 is the minimum amount of insulin that must be injected into the cartridge is 100 units, which is too much for me so I have ended up throwing out insulin.

@cchoge 6 ай бұрын

I've been a Tandem user for almost a decade, and am completely exhausted by the sheer quantity of alerts that I get from my pump, which is made worse by the absolutely shrill sound design of the alarms. I can't imagine how much worse this would be if my phone became the primary sound source for alarms. Have they improved how they manage alarms with the phone as the primary interface? How does the snooze work?

@dwightl5863 6 ай бұрын

@@MoonStar-nl8dx My experience with the Tandem with Control IQ is nothing but high praise. I had an older style Medtronic, not a closed loop system, as my first start into pump therapy and it was a positive experience. But I've heard so many complaints, not with the Medtronic pump itself, but with the sensors, I so happy my Endo suggested the Tandem. Alert volumes can be adjusted. And yes alerts from anything can be annoying, especially at night, it is better to be made aware than to go off the deep end.

@cchoge 6 ай бұрын

@@MoonStar-nl8dx please don't let me bring you down on this. Tandem has been way ahead of other manufacturers in innovations, and Control IQ is truly marvelous. I had some bad experiences with late-night low blood sugars when I was younger, and sleeping was a difficult thing for me because I was so worried about my blood sugar. The improved control is really amazing, and something you should look forward to, especially if you're migrating from Medtronic. I'm a seasoned veteran with this pump, and the fatigue I feel might be very much tied to just the sheer amount of time I've lived with the pump, and my own need to shake up my treatment program. I think you're going to be delighted by how much ControlIQ is going to improve your overall well being.

After Medtronic, there was a learning curve with the insertion procedure. Found a helpful video. No regrets changing to Tandem + G7. In the menu of Alerts & Reminders, I have only one turned on, for low reservoir. Also the bigger color touch screen is a pleasure, I find it user friendly rather than the Medtronic manual scrolling in search of the relevant imbedded menu.

I was excited about this pump until I realized the cartridge is no longer the weighted bag system. How is this any better than medtronic? Whenever I used the medtronic pump air bubbles would somehow get into the cartridge a day or 2 after it was installed. This is why I switched to tandem. No air can seep through the rubber since it's a bag.
