OK, so still deliberating between the tandem tslim x2 and dexcom and the minimed 780g with the guardian sensor G4
I think I marginally prefer the smartguard algorithm over the control-IQ but my sticking point (and I think it may be insurmountable ) is the G4 sensor
Just watched this video and am horrified
Firstly, how difficult is this to do on your own? I have small hands (short fingers) and am starting to get arthritis in my right hand). I have been using the dexcom g6 and g7 without issues.
Secondly, the video says you have to stop the old sensor first but it looks to me that you should be able to pre-insert a sensor to let it cook for a while and then add the transmitter later?
Feedback welcomed.
