[QUOTE="Talo, post: 2229826, member: 490675"] 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 understand that both can increase or decrease basal rate based on GCM readings. I don't know if one is better than the other in this regard. [B] Medtronic 670g pros[/B] - Works with a AA battery. No charging (I prefer it that way) - Medtronic provides both pump and sensor. No dealing with two companies. - Medtronic support has been great to me. To get in contact with tandem to get info on the pump I had to call 2 times and wait 30min to get support. -Tube is easy to hide (tandem has a "thing" on the tube that looks awful to me) [B]Tandem tslim x2+ Dexcom G6 pros[/B] - Dexcom lasts for 10 days! - No calibration needed (My medtronic sensor can struggle with calibrations when I'm not stable). - Temperature sensor - Reminder to change set - Pump is a bit smaller What I haven't considered yet are costs. I will get health insurance next month and ask about it. I would really appreciate feedback (pros and cons) from people that have experience with them. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
