Hi I have been on the Tandem T-slim control IQ since August and it's really helping me. I am seeing alot of improvements in my blood sugars and I'm gaining alot more confidence.
I just have a couple of issues. I wear the pump on my waist band and working as a nursery nurse I'm constantly bending down etc and it falls off my waist band. My stomach is quite round so the strap that you can wear around your stomach would not be something I could wear that would be comfortable.
Also changing my pump tonight I've gone through four infusion sets as the adhesive wasn't sticking to my skin. I have emailed the company to let them know this but I'm just scared that now I will run out before my next order is due. Could it be. Faulty batch? Has anyone experienced this? Is there any sort of adhesive I can put on before I attach the pump to my skin?
I would be really grateful if anyone can help x
Thanks Sam xx
