[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2362743, member: 465882"] Hi Kay, I can’t comment on omnipod or the t-slim but I’ve just been given the Medtronic 780G with the guardian 3 CGM. I honestly cant explain how good it is. I’ve only been using it a month but before the pump my a1c was 83 & now my predicted a1c is 48.7. Using the 780G with the guardian 3 has a feature called automode, basically it adjusts your background insulin for you every 5 minutes to keep you in range. It then also shuts off insulin when going low or can give auto correction doses when you go above target range to bring you back down. It really is like having a mechanical pancreas! If you picked the Tandem would they fund you the dexcom to run alongside? I think the tandem t-slim has a automode feature like my Medtronic that’s all, but if they aren’t going to fund you the CGM you would lose that feature or need to self fund. any questions just message me [/QUOTE]
