Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kamawan" data-source="post: 2614291" data-attributes="member: 497805">Hi allI'm on the T:Slim X2 pump with the Dexcom G6 (absolute game-changer when the two are linked successfully, haven't had a severe night hypo ever since), one problem with the pump is that the clip is terrible. It's about as sturdy and elastic as a large paperclip. It never recovers it's original shape and it inevitably snaps far too early in it's life. Unlike Medtronic, T:Slim (represented by air liquide in Europe) won't provide replacement clips, which I found poor.After YouTube recommendation I bought a Nite Ize HipClip to stick to the back of the pump case, the clip was in a different league from the OEM clip, quality was amazing, but the sponge adhesive was clearly not designed for frequent use and constant body heat, it 'melted' in a month and fell off. Amazon replaced it but the same thing happened again.I was considering sticking a neodymium magnet to the back of the pump case, putting the clip on my belt and just pulling the pump away from the magnet when I need to use it, then pop it back on, effortless. Then I realised a neodymium magnet would probably mess with the pump. Would a normal magnet provide grip without harming insulin delivery? Anyone have experience with this?Thanks!</blockquote>
