[QUOTE="MinaRotter, post: 2345435, member: 461913"] I did this exact same thing a month ago, so just to give a different perspective on this :) - I have to say I really like the t-slim and I think the dexcom is way better than the gaurdian, but then I'm not allergic to the tape. I think you can get skin barrier wipes, don't know if that may help? I agree the cartridge is more fiddly, I remove all the air with an empty syringe first ( got this tip from youtube and it seems to work well). A word of caution with the Fiasp (this is definitely one drawback when considering the t-slim) - it seemed to just stop working after about 2 days in the t-slim for me and I was getting crazy highs with absolutely no response to additional boluses, eventually having to change the whole set and even give a s/c jab to get it back down. This is a well known issue with the t-slim specifically and I ended up going back to humalog - ask your rep about it if you're considering the t-slim with Fiasp (it was fine in my Medtronic). I went straight onto control iq, so I'm not sure how basal iq works but I found the control iq pretty good. The sleep mode aims for a lower range but doesn't give bolus corrections, just alters the basal, so in some ways is less agressive. The exercise mode will raise the target range and reduce and stop the basal if you're heading for less than 7.2 (I think it is) in the next 30 minutes and stop it completely if you're heading for less than 4.4 in the next 30 minutes. You can stop the control iq and set a temp basal rate at any time if you prefer. Hope some of this helps! [/QUOTE]
