Hi all! I’m new here. I fell down a worm hole after receiving an email from Tandem about new software for G6 integration. I’m currently using an X2 with a G5. After seeing the G6 has a 10 day hard cutoff and finding out about xdrip I landed here.
I’ve been type 1 for 30 years and on a pump for about 10 now. I cant stand my Tandem pump but that’s another topic in itself. I’ve used Medtronic, animas, and a Cosmo (my favorite), as well as this x2.
I teach middle school technology and in my free time I like to ride motorcycles. I sell real estate as a side gig to be able to afford my pump supplies and insulin.
Glad to be here and I’m looking forward to meeting some new people and learning some new things.
Are you happy with the tslim/dexcom, besides the tubing? I love the dexcom and looking for a different pump. I’ve only had pumps from Medtronic and not interested in continuing with them but was interested in tslim/dexcom. My pump warranty is up in December.
Absolutely not. Dexcom is good but Tandem, not so much. I will not be considering them in the future. Looks like it will be back to Medtronic next time.
I have been with Medtronic as long as I have had a pump, I guess about 20 years. Only had a CGM for 6 months and like the Dexcom G5 (for me more accurate than Libre which I tried for two months but not as accurate as I would like). I will be looking for a new pump/CGM combination once my pump is off warranty. So interested the the different possibilities.
Don’t mind the tubing so would not go to Omnipod for that reason alone. I guess I like Medtronic but do not want to lose control to the new metronic pump. Please keep talking about this. Must be a lot of interest out there.
I’d be interested to know what you don’t like about Tandem. I’m currently on a clinical trial with Medtronic 670G pump and if you like entering a lot of BG test results, you will like the 670. Fortunately the sensor is a lot better than it used to be.
