[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2524035, member: 365308"] tamdem basal iq with Acu Chek Combo before then: PLUS Flexibility of hourly dosing Unplugging when dropping too low or for exercise When used with Dexcom as a closed loop it has been fantastic. Otherwise you have the same variables re illness, pmt, counting carbs accurately etc that you do with pens. MINUS Canulas do get loose and tubing can get blocked Loads of extra waste from packaging Having to order supplies from different places requires a little more oganised Pump bump! It clearly isn't a magic bullet for me except for the past year where the tandem/dexcom combo has seen my hba1c go down from 64 (a blip from average 54) down to 48 something I've never achieved solo. Much less hypos given the safety set up of the system and much flatter blood glucose in general due to the minute adjustments anticipated and made by the system. [/QUOTE]
