I like to stay in the 90s I feel like a failure when I’m in the 80s and I tend to blame my pump or my sensor when it really goes down into the 70s.
My doctor told me that she expects me to be in range 95 percent with a tandem and g6.
However I almost never manage that.
I have had a few days @100 percent but it’s almost random to get that.
Does this thing work with insulin and glucagon or insulin only?
There are both setups being tested
The first one to come to market will probably be insulin only. And while there are some cool things with it, I think I will stick with my Tandem until they roll out both hormone pump. I know safety is first and foremost with any of these equipment studies. They are always going to go conservative. With my Medtronic pump, I set my goal blood sugar at 100. My Tandem recommenced 110. No problem! This pump is using 120 as the target. Probably getting a little higher than I might want. And the Medtronic 670 using 150 before kicking back i is just to high.
These are the little things one must really look at when shopping for a pump. It can be those little things that could make you hate your new pump.
