[QUOTE="Capt-Slog, post: 2229856, member: 500850"] It sounds a bit like you have already made up your mind to go with the Medtronic pump. However, I am confused. You talk about the Tandem t:slim X3 pump. I was not aware that there was an X3 model. I have a Tandem t:slim X2 pump. I did buy the Dexcom G6 starter pack. The integration between the pump and the sensor was flawless. I really can't fault it. The connection between the Dexcom G6 and my Android phone was a different matter. However.. To be fair... The official Dexcom app again worked very well. It was only whe I tried to use the xDrip+ app that I experienced a lot of issues with connectivity In the end I had to stop using the G6 sensors, partly because of the cost and partly because I suffered from an allergic reaction to the sensor after about a week. This reaction is VERY rare with Dexcom sensors, so please don't assume it will happen to you. I have had similar problems with some brands of cannula too. I guess I am just a sensitive guy! I cannot speak for the Medtronic. On the forums people have said the sensor isn't as good as a G6. Good luck [/QUOTE]
