[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2364428, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=537912]@EricW2004[/USER] The issue is that unless anyone has used both then you'll never achieve good 360 degree feedback on this, there will always be a bias. I use the Tandem Slim with Control IS and Dexcom G6 and yes changing the cartridge is faff, I fully use the insulin on the cartridge before changing and not every 2 days as advised by the rep, it doesn't affect the efficacy of the insulin by going the distance over 3-4 days and even if it did I would notice quickly and change it, I was annoyed by all the beeps/etc when I first started using it as this would wake me in my sleep but everything is on vibrate now. On the plus side control is much tighter now so time in range from using the medtronic 640g has easily increased by around 10% so expecting to see a better HbA1c, downside is that I haven't quite figured out how to manage it with exercise, but that's a personal thing and will involve trial and error, I could use a temp basal pattern on the 640g which was brilliant but exercise mode on the Slim isn't cutting it and regularly hypo-ing whilst exercising. Would I recommend the pump - absolutely, it's a great piece of kit but cannot comment on the Ypsopump - perhaps try youtube as users like uploading their feedback there ? [/QUOTE]
