Sorry to get back so late.
Yeah, I know people have said that having a tubed pump isn't really a hassle and I have to respect their experience, but never having had a tubed pump, I can't imagine the kind of adjustment it would take to get usedto being tethered. Ssems like having to deal with bubbles in the tubes is not what I would call "something you get used to.
The post-pod change highs are a challenege. I do believe it has something to do with the priming process and having enough basal insulin being delievered when the pod is newly applied. I'm not sure though. It only happens some of rhe changes for me. As a general rule, I do give myself a smallish bolus whne the new pod goes on, regardless of my BG level.
