[QUOTE="Capt-Slog, post: 2044565, member: 500850"] Thanks Notorious (cool name by the way). Although I have a massive range with my CCG, for which I feel very lucky, I had a chat with the girls from my CCG team at the pump drop-in last week. I told them that I was REALLY interested in the Tandem t:slim X2 pump. They have said that there is a (t:) slim chance that maybe they can put me on it, as a sort of Guinea Pig test case for our area. I have every digit crossed that maybe they can swing it for me. All of the reviews for the t:slim X2 seem to suggest that it IS a VERY good pump. If I do get it, then I will probably move away from my (NHS) Libre / MiaoMiao combo I am currently using and self-fund the Dexcom G6. At the very least I shall try the 1 month trial. The current Tandem Basal IQ software is very good (no lows). Later this year should see the release of Control IQ (no lows and no highs) and 2020 could see the introduction of some full closed loop software. The 670G/CGM setup is ok, but the choice of the X2 with a Dexcom G6 is a game changer for me. I think that Medtronic made a huge mistake not choosing Dexcom as their CGM partner. CGM aside, I think that the t:slim X2 is the best pump currently on the market. The Omnipod is very good but the 200u reservoir is too small for me. I did ask the rep from Roche a lot of questions about the Combo, both because of the looping facility (which she would not be drawn upon to discuss) and because I currently use the Expert BG meter and the Combo meter is identical apart from an extra menu selection for the pump.
