A few have mentioned about correcting with HCL and being told that you should not correct as it can upset the pump's calculations. Here is the guidance from DTN UK, very useful in that it details how to correct when high or unwell...

Just seen a post from a USA based t:slim user, saying that the latest IOS update (17.1 ?) allows him to remote bolus via his iPhone (think this might be tandem connect which is only USA based at present). Lets hope that tandem can roll this out to other regions soonest.

At last Glooko is working on my iMac, its been more than a year since I could last download. Still takes 10 mins to register password then at least 10 more mins to download pump data, patience of a saint is needed. Anyone running an iMac with Ventura should be able to get it working. Did have to...

See extract below from my consultant, from April 22 NICE have agreed to all T1's having access to CGM. Also it seems that soon there will be news on looping too so hopefully the stronger algorithms (like the Cambridge and DIY) will be released by others. Woo hoo ............

Yesterday my t:slim gave me an altitude alarm, whilst on the phone to supplier it recovered so it was left as is but today it died for good, the new one arrives tomorrow. I was told the new one would be fully pre-set up for me with my latest profiles and settings which made me think they must be...

Is anyone using the t:slim with Fiasp, or perhaps a 50% mixture of Fiasp and Novo rapid to reduce any stinging.

Just did a bit of checking dates and history to discover that I'd passed the 50 year milestone in December 2020, so this month its 50 years. Its amazing how life has changed over this time, from glass syringes, stainless needles and chemical kit for testing urine to today where I've got a CGM...

Just completed three UK training courses online, took around 90 mins. Now waiting for all the approvals and then should be able to update the pump from home, how great is that. :-)

The t:slim remote app has been released in the USA, does not yet allow dosing but shows all pump data and cgm so looks like the Dexcom app may not be needed (unless you have followers).

Hi all just received this email from Air Liquide regarding control IQ update in the UK. Roll on July 2020 Dear Customer, As you may be anticipating, later this year it will be possible to update your t:slim X2 Insulin Pump to Control-IQ technology, via an optional software update. Control-IQ...

Is anyone else using this new (ish) pump yet ? any thoughts ? From first impressions it looks like it would be good, its tiny, got a 200ml reservoir, takes any short acting, can be body mount patched or pocketed either with cannula. Does not do stacked bolus's like the Insight but other than...

It looks like its the Medtronic 670g ? or possibly an update to it ? and claims is that it controls insulin dosage without user interaction using its own CGM ...

I'm just about to receive my third Insight pump in just over 2.5yrs. Pump 1 lasted from Jan 16 to May 17 - about 16 months (fault was it would not accept a new cartridge - I was away on holiday) Pump 2 lasted from May 17 to Sept 18 - about 16 months (fault was it would intermittently refuse...

I'm trying to find out how many pump users have kept their pump on when walking through an airport security full body scanner (not a static metal detector). If you did could you post up What pump you wore through the body scanner Did you also have a CGM on When did you do this (or how many...

Hi all I've been having issues finding ways to charge my Insight handset, no matter what I've tried I can only get it to charge from a mains or car 12v socket where the USB power is less than 1W (or is managed). I've never been able to use a computer USB or a battery pack when travelling. I...

For those without an intelligent car interface like Car Play etc and using an iPhone for the receiver. Set up your iPhone so Siri is voice activated. For and iphone 6 or earlier plug it into the car audio, if its a 7 or later then this is not needed as Siri via voice is pre activated. Turn on...

This week I spoke to my consultant and asked him about the Libre, I'm using the Dexcom but getting close to retirement and wondered if in a year or two I might move over to something like the Libre that the NHS would fund. His reply was that Abbott had taken an extreme liberty implying that the...

Seems yesterday that Animas (Johnson and Johnson) announced they are pulling out of pumping and switching their USA & Canada customers over to Medtronic. Is there any news for rest of the world ...

I fly quite a lot, last weekend was the first time that I'd approached the security check in term 2 to be faced with a body scanner. I told the staff that I had an insulin pump and did not want to go through the body scanner, they asked me to step to one side then the manager came over and...

Just been made aware of this, not sure how this is going to impact those of us outside the USA. http://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/newsflash-roche-discontinues-insulin-pumps There is also a report on Animas too, looks like Johnson and Johnson are restructuring to possibly sell of the pump...
