I totally fill insulin cartridge and use until empty. Just change infusion site every three days. My A1c went up on control IQ. Now I turn off during day and only use at night. So far my TIR has been fabulous. 110 is too high for me. I like to run around 90.

The case is not as easy to remove as it is in this video.

I’m diabetic

Tandem Diabetes can you please repost the USA version of the “How Control IQ Works” video. I know it was originally posted back on December 20, 2019. I noticed the Activity and Sleep are still up. I you have a new version of that video but that wine was so easy to follow.

I just wanna express how much I hate… Hate… Hate piece of crap inserter. I can’t even imagine you poor parents trying to do this to your children cause I sure as hell can’t figure it out. Already been through today and my blood sugar has been over 400 all day, every single one of them is bent when I pull it off after two hours at this point I’m gonna end up in the hospital. It’s ridiculous. The AI is great but not user friendly. Anybody here use the Omni pod?

The problem with the infusion set seems to be it has difficulty actually settling the canula in, like Holly hell this is a bad i just did it for the 4th time tonight, follwed the video best i could watching it everytime trying my best to get it right.

Where should I put the exposed needle to avoid contamination or damage if I need to disconnect it while I’m out and about?

DO I need to refill the cannula after reconnecting after swimming for example or just the tubing

I appreciate you @htxpillz and your help fam

I have been using this infusion set for a few years and have never filled the tubing before inserting the canula into my body. I insert the canula detach the tubing from my body and then attach it to the cartridge after which I fill the tubing. If you use the method shown in the video and something goes wrong with the insertion then you've not only wasted an infusion set but also the insulin it took to fill the tubing.

What can I do if I do not get an e-mail and I have a brand new T Slim pump that will not sync with my Dexcom G7?

Just switched to the Tandem t:slim X2, my first time on an insulin pump after being T1D for about 13 years. I love the Control IQ technology and the size of the pump. However, I can’t help but think how many units of insulin are wasted in the process of switching tubing and such. Seems very wasteful in fact, that part of the pump needs to be redesigned.

what a horrible horrible disease, why can't we ever ever ever have a cure to stop this once and for all forever.

Sad to see some people struggling, my child has just made the switch from MDI to T-slim and it's life changing. A little fiddly the first week until your confidence grows but we're loving it so far 🙏

Do you need dexcom or libre sensor for blood sugar to control insulin

Where can I purchase a patch to put over my infusion site, like pictured at 3:09?

1. This product is not warrantied. At. All. This is important because... 2. The product has a design flaw. Ive highlighted a video review of the product on Amazon showing exactly where the product will fail, and the conditions that cause the failure.

i am now able to change my cuddle buddys insulin pump

Love that I need to research how to turn off a gd electronic device LMAO

Honestly I hope this is more automated. Because i would not know any of this information. Considering I'm using the dexcom G7.

NEVER PLAY LOUD MUSIC OVER YOU INSTRUCTIONS . I COULD NOT HEAR HALF OF YOUR VIDO.

Needs to be an adults only option that allows me to turn off a low bg alarm. I KNOW it’s low bros and i have all sounds turned off but the low still blares a noise despite me already on top of it? Wtf?

Didn’t hurt at all surprisingly, hopefully this one works I had 5-6 failed sites from the autosoft 90s lmao

Can you please upload more videos for insertion tips for different parts of the body? im new to a tandem pump, and the autosoft 90 kept having issues so im trying trusteel for the fiest time. with the autosoft i had to only insert into my abdomen for it to work properly :( otherwise i love the closed loop system

I would NOT recommend this! I have this pump and it does NOT shut up! it’s constantly making noise all night so loud I can’t even sleep! Just beyond frustrated with it! it’s uncomfortable, noisy as hell & wears you down physically and mentally not being able to even sleep cause it’s so damn loud 😭😭😭😭 infusion sites are painful, I’m so tired I feel like I’m gonna pass out cause this pump just won’t STFU making noise all night

These are a few of my biggest concerns when it comes to switching to tandem, some of which are just expected quality of life things that I don't understand why design would drift away from or stay with: 1. lack of view on reservoir 2. complicated load process that does not allow for corner cutting or time saving (time may be money but time is also my life, the less time i have to be diabetic the better)...for instance, with minimed's reservoir system I can either use the priming feature the pump has built in to push insulin through the tubing once the reservoir is connected to the pump OR i can save time by after drawing insulin from a vial into the reservoir with the plunger I can leave said plunger in and connect the tubing and manually push insulin through the tubing. That saves me about 2mins of time that i dont have to think about diabetes. Consider this type of design in your pumps. 3. luer lock is old, why even go with this design when there are better designs out there? 4. replaceable batteries. Again, time is my life. I don't want to be connected to charge something. Either incorporate the old school method of disposable batteries OR add a swappable rechargeable battery to your systems. I don't want to slowly watch my pump battery life go down and be told "we're gonna wait until its under 3 days per charge". That's crazy. I would love to give further feedback on quality of life stuff if you'd have it from during the design of your next system. I run r/type1diabetes on reddit and write/direct film for a living so time saved is very important to me so I can continue to do my job and help others to the best of my abilities.

Training in four days. Here's hoping this helps.

Really wish I had gone with omnipod. Issue after issue with pump and support won’t do anything except to blame the Dexcom’s transmitter. Although the transmitter stays connected 100 percent to the time with all my other devices it won’t stay connected to the pump. But of course it’s not tandems fault. Is everyone else.

please show a video on how what to do when you disconnect from the infusion site. We did not put the cover back the first time my daughter unhooked to charge it. We are beginners and have no clue how to take the tubing off and on the infusion set device. I can't find anything anywhere on what to do!

I’m glad it’s not just me who’s had problems, I’ve had my insertion kink several times and get nervous I’ll run out of infusions too fast, I’ve done it the way the tutorial says but still end up with a leak or kink leading to high blood sugars and sickness

I had my appointment to get this today but cancelled, as i was told id be on g6 as well. Im too worried as there is little to no info about using tslim without closed loop. I worry massively about hypos coz 2 big hypos in a year i can loose my driving lic.

These sets are hell on erth ont only are they made with chines factory qality but they dont work 40% of the time (for me ) a nather funny thing is you cant tell if they work or not antil your glucose hits the roof only then you can be shure.

@TandemDiabeties please add close captions for this or at least enable the closed captions button to be press.

These things fucking suck - A type one

Has been such a learning g curve for me. Was on MDI for three years. None of my basal and bolus calculations work. Had to lower basal from 1U/hr to 0.6u. Changed bolus calc from 1:6 to 1:10. Crazy. Not sure if temporary or these are new calculations going forward. Am using Lyumjev insulin so maybe that has something to do with it.

This design is absolutely awful. You need to hire some new engineers.

The out of tue box instructions suck. That's why I came here.

Jags!!

I will plan to put a power cord in the supplies bag my daughter carries.

Sigma

They did allat for a new plastic case💀

We have recently gotten the t slim pump for my nephew, and it has been nothing but a headache for us. Everything works amazing aside from the infusion set. It is so flimsy and we have so many failed infusion sites. We already pay a hefty amount for his monthly kits for the t slim and we have had so many failed infusion sets, that we run short during the month, so yet again we are having to pay yet another hefty amount to replace these failed infusion sets. We have taken in person training courses, watched numerous videos to make sure we were doing everything right. We do it exactly how we were trained too, but these infusion sets keep failing. My nephew had to go to the ER twice because his glucose was over 500 and we had no other way to give him insulin. I think it is absurd for us to keep paying these hefty amounts for something that isn’t our fault.

Hi! When I enter bolus, it shows that bolus is active for example for 3 hours. Does this mean that pump will give the insulin in small bits during the 3 hours or that it will give all the insulin at the start?

This video goes to fast. And leaves a lot of questions unanswered to the new user..

I get bruising when using this any helpful tips to avoid bruising* on my skin?

Gotta say minimums is way easier
