Tslim has a new update available and it means the pump will allow an extended bolus when you are using control IQ and a longer extended bolus than before, both very useful in my eyes!

The problem I find when tslim treat a high is that the pump will only let you set insulin duration for 5 hrs when in reality for me it is 1.5hrs max, I remember a rep asking me once how it knew this... Simple, after 1.5 hrs from giving a correction and with my basals set correctly my levels will...

Good question, I just assumed there was a higher risk of infection with steel but I've never been told that. I do leave them 2.5 and very occasionally 3 days but because I use Lyumjev it can start to congeal after 2 days.

I used the trusteel up until they announced a shortage and got on really well with them, interesting that when I moved to the teflon sets I kept getting unexplained highs, it was suggested to me I tried changing them every 2-2.5 days and it has stopped most of those unexplained highs. It is a...

I use ' not just a patch ' on me they stay stuck the full 10 days unless im on holiday and in the sea/pool then they only make 6-7 days.

Personally I love my tslim, it works for me but we are all different. I have been pumping heading on 20 yrs, Roche pumps before and I've had tslim 3.5yrs. I used to work with horses when I first had a pump and can honestly say that an active lifestyle isn't a problem, they are even smaller now...

I had exactly the same when I first went on the tslim, ( Nov 22 ) it drove me mad, ive been pumping nearly 20 yrs so knew what I was doing but several times when I called air liquid they kept trying to blame user error, eventually I spoke to someone who appreciated it wasn't right and they sent...

Ive had a tubed pump for 20yrs now and ive always had manual jobs, I think ive caught the tubing maybe twice, one time was a door handle on a canal boat. The pumps are very easy to keep the tubing inside clothing, I have the same fear of knocking a tubeless pump off me but I'm sure there are...

I think it is important to get the correct pump for you. I don't work shifts but I work zero hours contract so go times with no work and then times I work a few or 7 days a week and I do manual work. I'm on a tslim pump which allows me to set my own basals, I have one that I call ' work '...

Yes he is and like me not on the automatic 3 month delivery set up.

A friend of mine also on tslim was in a similar position this week, ordered but a delay in the order being shipped and he was on his last cartridge, he called them on Friday and they said they were having problems with distribution this week and have fast tracked his order and put a couple of...

Like Ellie im on a tslim pump, used roche pumps before so ive been on tubed pumps for 19yrs now and can say I have caught and ripped the tubing out twice in that time, once over night ( I now sleep with a velcro band/pouch around my middle and tuck wires in ) and once when the tubing caught on a...

Out of curiosity as to why do many medronic users seem to have this issue ( including one of my close friends ) I did some googling and found this. So you can't manually set the TDD like you can on tslim and its based on the last 6 days needs, so for arguments sake, if you average about 25 units...

Did you ask your nurse about your total daily insulin? The algorithm isn't going to give you more insulin if it thinks it then won't have enough for the rest of the day.

That is crazy, an infection would definitely be an option and it could be your immune system working away fighting something you don't know about. Clutching at straws ... Don't suppose there is any chance your pump overheats at night next to/under a hot water bottle? I only asked as this...
