Hi! I don’t think insurance would cover an iPhone, but good news is, any iPhone that runs IOS 16 or 17 is compatible with the Mobi app. I just looked up the price on some of the older phones that can run this and the iPhone SE (2nd generation) can be purchased refurbished for around $100! You might be able to find something even cheaper. I hope this helps!!

I’m so sorry! That’s really frustrating. I’m sure you’ve already taken the necessary steps to prevent air bubbles, but maybe you could contact Tandem to see if they could help you troubleshoot? If they can’t help you figure it out, hopefully you can get a replacement pump. Good luck!!
@user-yy3kd5tz1lКүн бұрын
Hello Jillian, Yes, I have contacted them several times. Yesterday, they called me to discuss the air bubbles. The person I spoke with said they were aware of the situation from other Diabetics as well. I was told to leave the air bubble in my cartridge and wear it upside down so the air rests at the back of the cartridge. Unfortunately, I do not like having all the tubing hanging down so low on my waist. Oh well, I guess I have to be patient with Tandem since it is so new. I ado am frustrated with Control IQ giving me a correction bolus when I am in sleep mode. I always wake up too low. I was told I must have the wrong settings programmed, but no troubleshooting to correct it. I am frustrated with Mobi; however, I do love the small size. Thank you for all of your informative videos!😊

It looks so bulky to wear. What are any reasons or advantages to wearing it?
@JillianBoileau11 күн бұрын
It is pretty bulky for me. It's slightly smaller than the Omnipod 5, but the tubing adds to it. A reason for using the adhesive sleeve would be to keep it concealed. Some diabetics are self conscious or don't like answering questions about the devices they use. I used to be this way before I got a CGM and a pump. Now I feel like it helps connect me with other diabetics and gives me a chance to educate people who don't know much about our condition. I think the sleeve is great for athletes and very active individuals. The 5 inch tubing is much shorter. Having the tubing under my shirt when i wear the sleeve makes me feel like there is less chance of my site being pulled out by children or catching on a door handle. It's also makes wearing a bathing suit or a dress easier.

As far as I know, there is no way to transfer your profiles from t:slim to the Mobi. I believe this is why they have you fill out a data sheet during training. You use the Mobi app to make adjustments for everything. This app allows you to do so much more than t:connect did for the t:slim!

Good review Jillian, thank you. You mentioned that you don't use Control IQ. A video on just how CIQ works and what are some of the downsides would be helpful. I only use it overnight as I find I can do a better job of controlling during the day, largely because of how Control IQ overcompensates and only gives you 60% of the correction bolus you need, leading to prolonged highs.

I also like to be in a lower range than 110 when I'm in really good control. I often found that CIQ would run me much higher than 110 most of the time. I'd like to mess around with the algorithm when I have some time and tweak my numbers to keep me lower. I know many have luck with this, but I haven't found the right formula to have much success yet. It would make a great video and I believe it would be helpful to many. Thank you for your comment!!

And I was able to stick the Moby to me and use my shirt as protection for the tube, but I am a newbie at this and we’ll see how it goes .ps pumps used to scare me because I wasn’t in control of the amount of insulin that was directly being injected, but my doctor assures me that they are completely safe🧐🤷
@JillianBoileauАй бұрын
You’re welcome! Those are valid feelings! I was nervous with my first pump. It was new and scary. The main thing you need to remember is that you aren’t taking any long acting insulin. So with small amounts of rapid acting insulin in its place for basal, with a hiccup you need to be cautious of DKA. It can come on very suddenly with the use of a pump. As long as you are in decent control, you should see the signs of a pump occlusion or a bad site before you go too high. A CGM will alert you so I’d certainly recommend using one with a pump. This can still happen with MDI if you inject long acting into scar tissue so I wouldn’t let this deter you from using a pump. I’m so excited for you! I think the Mobi will be absolutely perfect for you!

Ive been using the mobi for almost 3 months and I like it. I was afraid to be tethered to a charging cable and the 200 unit cartridge. I was using Medtronic and i refused to use their unreliable harpoon thick needle Guardian Continuous blood glucose monitor. The charging is very fast, from 85 to 100% in 10 minutes. It is so lightweight and small, I don't even feel it in my pocket. It's not like the Medtronic heavy brick, i had to carry in my pocket. I swim with it without any problems. My control- IQ is on 24/7 and I wake up every morning with my blood glucose between 100 and 113, i love it!!! For those that doesn't know yet, the cartridge can be refilled without having to put a new one in every time. It can also be charged with any wireless charger, You don't have to use the one that came with the mobi. Some things that definitely will make the mobi better is a bigger cartridge. The app, needs some work. Add more numbers to the graph. They show on mine 140 and then 400, what about 200 and 300. It will just make it easier to read, The same with the time, 2pm and then 4 pm. I can't really see how high my BS was at a certain time. I also had some connection issues with the dexcom so a better bluetooth signal will make it better. Anyway, I love the mobi and are looking forward to see some software and firmware updates.

Did u get around 2 watching the Dr Bernstein KZfaq about reversing complications? I remember he told a story about a patient of his who wad scheduled 4 eye surgery - the patient decided to hold off on the procedure and do everything Dr B recommend. The patient returned to the eye doctor and there had been so much improvement it was determined that the operation was no longer necessary. The eye doc called Dr B with questions because he had never seen that before and acknowledged he didn't even know it was possible etc. If the story wasn't in the video I sent u the link 4 then it is elsewhere but I remember it well. My own retinopathy diagnosis initially was moderate but has since been changed to mild. Diabetics should spread the good news about what is possible. Of course Dr B IS responsible and explained that it depends of course on how advanced the existing damage is and that it's going to take time 2 c healing/reversal/improvement. U can't change the past but u can decide to change NOW!!!

Yes, I did! I don’t recall him talking about that particular story in the video you linked, but I think he may have mentioned it in his book. I’d have to go back and check.

It’s so unreal how you can turn your life/health around with a few substitutions and a little discipline. I admit, it takes constant effort, but it beats the alternative of living the rest of your life with debilitating consequences. Keep on spreading the news of your success, my friend!!

That’s 9.5 units less than the 23 inch tubing. So if you change your site every 3 days, that’s 95 units less to be wasted. That’s about 3 days worth of insulin for me.

Thanks i hope it has the 300 units the same as the x2 because 200 is not great for me xx
@JillianBoileau7 ай бұрын
You’re welcome! Unfortunately, the Mobi includes a 200-unit cartridge.

@JillianBoileau7 ай бұрын
@@DavidGoodall-ud4zo you can do it!!!!! I just want to make sure you know that the Omnipod 5 only holds 200-units like the Mobi. If you are considering the O5, I would recommend the Mobi over it, but thats just me.

You are amazing. I did not get my pod yet but i was also thinking about the tslim
@JillianBoileau9 ай бұрын
Thank you ❤️ Have you looked into DIY Looping? It’s a great option and can be done using Omnipod DASH. The t:slim is great though!! If you are interested in the t:slim, you might want to wait for the Mobi pump to come out in January. I have a video about it 😉 Let me know if you have any questions. Selecting an insulin pump is a big commitment!!

my son's BS spikes when he exercises as well. How do you manage this?
@JillianBoileau9 ай бұрын
I take a bolus prior to working out. I dose it right before I begin my warmup. If I workout later in the day, I don’t need as much, but I enjoy working out early. Also, cardio doesn’t spike me as much so I bolus on the lighter side the days I do cardio. Mild cardio, such as, power walking will even drop me a little. Just be careful with the boluses because every workout is different!!! I have this topic on my list of upcoming videos!!
@AmandaDeWald9 ай бұрын
Yes I would love to watch a video about this. It’s so hard esp bc they are both so little I don’t want to over bolus but also don’t want them running in the 300’s while they play.

Hi Jillian, thanks for the video, Dr. Bernstein really changed my life as well. I was wondering if you can make a video with more specifics on how you combine the Bernstein method with your Tandem pump with CIQ. From your other videos I think you use the sleep mode to make the pump keep you in a tighter range but that’s still not as tight as Dr. B recommends. Doesn’t the pump “fight” you when you want to keep your bg’s a little tighter? If so how do you fight back? So maybe a video about how do you cover a low carb high protein meal during the day would be very helpful. Thanks again for your videos!!
@JillianBoileau9 ай бұрын
Hi!!! That’s a great idea for a video! I’ll attempt to get a video on this topic out within the next month. So, I don’t use Control IQ on a regular basis, but I do from time to time. It isn’t perfect, but can be used as a tool when you are having a hard time with blood sugar fluctuations or are busy with life. The pump does “fight” me when I’m trying to keep my blood sugars lower, but there are a few ways around this. I’ve heard of types 1’s being able to keep blood sugars in the 90’s most of the time on C1Q, but I believe that is with a lot of micro boluses. I have not come close to perfecting this technique. I’ll get started on this topic.! Thank you for the suggestion and I hope I can help and learn something along the way

Hi, do you use R insulin?
@JillianBoileau2 ай бұрын
Hello! Sorry, I'm just now seeing this! I have used R insulin in the past when I was on multiple daily injections. Now, with my pump, I use an extended bolus to cover my low carb/high protein meals. It works similarly to how R would.

Informative report!
@rcm976210 ай бұрын
Hi! Nice report. Perhaps you can tell us what types of insulin cartridges and sizes will the tslim accept?
@JillianBoileau10 ай бұрын
Thank you for the feedback! The t:slim x2 uses 3 ml t:lock cartridges. They hold up to 300 units of insulin. I believe they are the only cartridges made to be used with this pump. The Mobi will use cartridges that will hold up to 200 units. I imagine these will use the same t:lock technology as the t:slim’s, but I cannot currently find any other information on this.

It's such a great guide! I'm so glad you had access to it. I wish more endocrinologists knew of it and could recommend it to their patients.
