    Tandem T Slim x2 and Altitude

    Hi all! Does anyone have experience with using the tandem T slim x2 at altitudes greater than 10k feet? I was told by them that it is not designed to work above that altitude and that it would give me an alarm and stop deliveries, but honestly, I am getting tired of all the cool stuff that I...

    High BG after set change.

    Hi Borb! I also had a 640g for years and had the same problem (I recently switched to tandem and I think its the same, but too soon to tell). I used to do more for the filling tube. Something like 15 units to be sure. And this is something that nobody specifically recommended but right after a...

    Choosing pump (Medtronic 670g or Tandem tslim x3+ Dexcom G6)

    Interesting. I didn't know that. Probably not a good idea for me since I go low really fast with activity (Control IQ has been saving me since I got the pump) but the pump is amazing during sleep. Keeps me around a 100 with no problem. I am sleeping so well with it (used to wake up due to low...

    Hi guys! Just writting to let you know that I chose the tandem+DexcomG6 and I started wearing it today! I actually got to wear the medtronic sensor and the dexcom simultaneously yesterday. They were really close in values allthough the medtronic took a little bit longer at showing bg changes...

    Choosing pump (Medtronic 670g or Tandem tslim x3+ Dexcom G6)

    Thank you all for the info! I just talked to medtronic and they confirmed that if I get the 670g I can upgrade at no cost when the newer one comes out.

    Choosing pump (Medtronic 670g or Tandem tslim x3+ Dexcom G6)

    Thanks for the info! I had no idea about the new medtronic coming out this year. I'll look it up and ask them about the upgrade if I do get the 670 before. I will keep you guys updated when I see my doctor and talk to his/her about it!

    Choosing pump (Medtronic 670g or Tandem tslim x3+ Dexcom G6)

    Thank you for the input! My bad. The s:slim is the x2. I now edited the post (can't edit the title though). I am actually more inclined for the tandem. Mainly because I dont really like medtronic sensors.

    Choosing pump (Medtronic 670g or Tandem tslim x3+ Dexcom G6)

    Hi all! I recently moved to the US and I have to get a new pump (I now have a medtronic 640g from Argentina. Medtronic will not give me support for this pump). I have been doing some research and nailed it down to medtronic 670g or Tandem tslim x2 + Dexcom G6. So far this is what I have: - I...

    Pump downgrade from medtronic!!

    Thanks for your replies. I guess they cannot "Force" me to use the old one instead of they one I have. But I'm sure they won't give me support for it (for example, replace faulty sensors). Anyway, I'll talk to the representative and talk about the options. I just got to the US so I'm applying...

    Pump downgrade from medtronic!!

    Exactly. Since 640g is not available in the US they want to replace it for the 630g for free. The problem is that the 630g is worse than 640g.

    Pump downgrade from medtronic!!

    It was pump manufacturer (Medtronic). Since I just moved to the US I currently don't have a US doctor or health insurance. I called about a faulty sensor and they told me that they will be replacing the pump since I'm now in the US.

    Pump downgrade from medtronic!!

    Hi all, I lived in Argentina all my life and I have a medtronic 640g pump. I recently moved to the US and they told me they are going to replace my pump for a "US Pump". The representative told me over the phone that they will be giving me a 630g pump, that is essentially the same as the one...

    Type 1 Do you have a disability? (Work)

    Thanks for your replies! I'm not talking about lying of course. Choosing "I do not wish to answer" is not saying you don't have a disability. But I guess its better to just put yes and be open.

    Type 1 Do you have a disability? (Work)

    Hi all, I will be relocating to the US soon so I'm applying for jobs. Almost all of them ask if you have a disability when applying and diabetes is listed as one. You don't have to specify which one. The options to reply are YES/NO/I don't wish to answer. I am selecting do not wish to answer...

    How much insulin US airport?

    No deep pocket unfortunately. I am interviewing for jobs at a university that seems to have good health plans for employees. Of course it's the first thing I will be looking at when applying. Also, I'm gonna keep my Arg health insurance just in case.

    Thank you for the info! I'm gonna do my best to get insurance ASAP, either by getting a job as soon as I go there, or by adding me to my wifes plan. I'm on humalog insulin. I hope I can get it at a reasonable price.

    How much insulin US airport?

    Thanks Marie. Yes, I'm taking a letter from my doctor specifying how much I use, and as you say we will consider the highest amount. But even then, I could still take more insulin. But I'm gonna keep it right to the amount that the prescription says. I will be living in Colorado, which has a...
