Me too! ...well we'll see about the controlled bit!

The t:slim is my first pump so I don't know, but I wouldn't think so, unless the Minimed doesn't work for you for some reason?

Hi @Chas C It goes live on Wednesday (29th) according to an email I received yesterday. Very exciting!

Tandem t:slim X2.

Sorry, I think I misled you. What I meant was they could, if they wanted to, offer two adhesive options since they've already used different ones. Unfortunately they don't seem to be thinking that way. Personally I've only ever had slight problems, but I don't think I've yet used a sensor with...

I've said this before but I think it's worth repeating. Dexcom, Abbot & others should, by now, be offering at least 2 adhesive options. One might be default, but there should be an alternative for anyone having problems. Dexcom have recently (not sure exactly when) changed their adhesive so they...

No, nothing since then.

Chas C Good to know, thank you. Hopefully we'll get it here before too long - perhaps with Control IQ?

@keithharrison If you can afford to fund a Dexcom G6 CGM then I recommend a Tandem t:slim X2. It has a function called "Basal IQ" which stops insulin delivery if it predicts you will go below 4.4 in the next 30 minutes. There will soon (July? in the UK) be an upgrade to "Control IQ" which also...

I've seen those suggestions since. At the time I just wanted to get it off! They replaced it, no problem.

I've self funded Dexcom for the last 6 years. It was an absolute revelation to me, suddenly to see what was really going on with my blood sugars, as opposed to the theory. I find the G6 works very well for me, with hardly any calibrations. I've only ever had one sensor replaced - it wouldn't...

Perhaps you could say a little more about your experience with the Watlaa watch. Is it visible in strong sunlight? I assume it's not "always on"? Is battery life as good as they say? How does the it connect to xDrip? I can't see it mentioned in the "Smart watch features" section of xDrip.

I used to have serious problems with a dip in blood sugars around 2:00am when using Lantus. Strangely varying the injection time didn't make much difference. It was something that became clear when I started using a Dexcom. The answer for me was to move to Levemir which was a big improvement. I...

@himtoo Another benefit of this comes if there is a problem with the new cannula. You can quickly, temporarily, swap over to the old one if it's not convenient to insert a new one immediately.

It's so easy to "stack insulin" in those circumstances. Followed by the inevitable crash. Been there done that. Glad to hear you are OK.

Hi @steveo4 Hopefully you've sorted it by now. To help we would need more information like: When did you eat? When did you bolus? How much would you expect one unit to drop your blood sugars? Do you have a pump? A CGM? Do you know why you are so high? I know I become very insulin resistant when...

I really like my tslim pump, though as it's my first I can't compare it to any other. It is small & light. The touch screen is good ,except in the brightest sunlight. I like the fact that it is rechargeable - some people don't. My big problem was nasty overnight hypos which was why I self funded...

Report it, you should get a replacement.

Hi @jimmax I've had the Tandem X2 for about a year & not had any blockages - apart from trapping the tubing in my belt buckle! I usually change every 3 or sometimes 3.5 days too. I do read about people getting occlusion alarms but I don't think they are too common. I would have a chat with...

I've had my pump (Tandem t:slim X2) for about a year & I'm really happy with it.
