344deb4-2022-11-16 Mine seems to upgrade automatically. Never had an issue. I'm using OnePlus 6T.

So I recently found out from Tandem rep that if you start the sensor on the pump, this will be the primary connection for the sensor. As for time between sensors I have never waited a set amount of time and always started a few minutes after removing the old one. Dexcom sensors are a lot more...

Now I think about it, one thing I do always do is... Once the needle has fired I push down hard on the centre piece, the plastic bit that holds the needle. I find this helps ensure the cannula sticky pad has properly stuck before I pull it all away. I now do it all so automatically I have not...

Twisting the needle cover? I have never done this. This might be what's going wrong. I've used this type of needle inserts for many years with the Vibe, Medtronic and now T-slim and not had many failures. I'm sure I had a few mess up when learning how to use them but generally they have been...

Great. Now your control-iq will work. Enjoy.

Yes start sensor. You have to go through the 2hr warm up on the pump as it thinks it's a fresh new sensor. You will still get reading in xdrip while it's warming up on the pump.

Yes I was using xdrip with Libre 2 and it was temperamental to set up the Libre 2. It did always work in the end but seems to be a bit random. As for the G6 sooooo much easier. Just enter the transmitter code in xdrip settings and then the sensor code. Takes a few hours to start up. Then bingo...

Setting up the G6 sensor is super easy. Just get it running on xdrip then add the same info to the tandem pump. Sensor transmits to both devices without issue. The control iq is amazing. I don't use the dexcom app as my OnePlus mobile is not compatible with the app. Very odd they have restricted...

Yep that's what I'm doing. Works fine.
