Sounds like a promising upgrade, fellow cyborg
Sounds like a promising upgrade, fellow cyborgI am now attached to a Tandem pump. the T-slimx2 (X2 means second model , I think) here is sunny Oz.
The educational process was very well done, both with pre-session video presentations via email (and a quiz to answer correctly enough to be able to move through the 5 modules)!! and my DNE (Diabetes Nurse Educator) and the Pump rep spend 2 hours with me (methinks they took pity on a slow learner)!
Comparison: Pump Length cm bare/in belt accessory Width cm b/b.a. Thickness cm bare/casing plus clip
Animas Vibe 8 / 8.4 5 / 5.4 2.2 / 3
Tandem.T-slim 8 / 8.5 5 / 5.5 1.5 / 2.2
More later when I have had time to work it out and have learned enough from my mistakes to say something profound.
3 tons of fish? THREE TONS! 50% to be converted to glucose. Um, is that a low carb diet? And fish plus salty chocolate might have you becoming mighty thirsty!!!! Please enjoy !!!!! Glad the emergency changeover went well. Testing in field conditions, conditions the clinic cannot easily reproduce for you.Bore da ffrindiau!
Had a couple of high alarms in the night, not sure if it’s the beginning of resistance week or the vestiges of the three tons of fish I had for dinner. Took small corrections to deal with those, and now I’m at 3.7... so I’ve turned off my pod for half an hour.
Did I mention I had my first pod failure at the weekend? Had to change it in the car in a multi storey car park in Cheltenham...
Salty chocolate is amazing. I usually have 100% cocoa stuff, and often put a sprinkle of pink salt on it. Really gives it some oomph.
Thank you @Mel dCP. It does not alert me with a Fur Elise tune but with various beeps and clicks. Being a one-in-all there is no separate input panel to mislay and full adaption to use of Dexcom CGM can be downloaded soon and next year hopefully the insulin reduction with low BSLs (CGM) program will be downloaded also. Waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes (sucks, will not be enough time to dive very shallowly for the 3 ton of fish). Battery top-up say 20 minutes twice weekly whilst showering.Sounds like a promising upgrade, fellow cyborg
Well, it was two giant fillets of basa, a fish I haven’t tried on my current dosing regime. I generally dose for the protein in white fish at half my carb ratio, and extend the bolus over 2 hours. I had it with turnip wedges and roasted broccoli.3 tons of fish? THREE TONS! 50% to be converted to glucose. Um, is that a low carb diet?

You get to choose the next test: Um, underwater, or with use of one hand only (use of improvised gadgets made beforehand allowed) or blindfold. This is also a sanity test so do not feel obliged to prove that the test can cause insanity.
Oh! And tests are held in this universe only.
Of course DSNs and doctors have to undergo the same testing to prove they have requisite experience!!
Awesome! When exercise works it really does work!Thankfully didn’t happen. Doesn’t always, there is no pattern to how my levels are following swimming. Pleased to say however that have had a straight line on my Libre for about 9 hours of 5.5-6.2. Result!
What about a book/blog etc with one page for each contributor with some stories to tell? Title, could be by vote e.g. one such might be Diabetic Dalliances etc etc.Well, it was two giant fillets of basa, a fish I haven’t tried on my current dosing regime.

Not sure a pod would stick to wet skin, so underwater testing is out. I do carry syringes so I can do an injection in case of total pod failure, which’ll be an experience as I’ve never injected myself using a syringe before. One of my DSNs is T1 and on a pump, so she’s got some tales to tell!
Glucose tabs would be better for ones teeth BUT I find they taste like talcum powder.....ewww lolAll those sweets aint good for one's teeth I fear. ? Glucose tabs safer???

OopsIve changed it kev do you reckon change it again currently at 8.8 but nothing to eat since lunchtime ive even put new basal vial in as well how are you getting on with your tresiba
What time do you take yours i take mine at 10pm which seems to work well ive also got a half unit pen so i just go up in halves wen it needs adjusting well better than lantusOopsyou did say you'd changed the vial, I might need to go back to Specsavers and I'm out of suggestions, other than a bug maybe.
Tresiba, I'm picky so there's things I like about it and things I don't, flatter daytimes, more fast acting injections some days, 7.30am slope line drop giving me more night time hypos, but yeah, I'm not looking to change..
I take mine at 10pm tooWhat time do you take yours i take mine at 10pm which seems to work well ive also got a half unit pen so i just go up in halves wen it needs adjusting well better than lantus
