If anyone in the #NoVa / #DC / #MD / #VA / #DELMARVA area needs #Tandem #tslim #tslimX2 #insulinpump cartridges, let me know. My insurance covers them at 100% and I am accruing them faster than I can ever use them.

I contacted my #endocrinologist about potentially using #fiasp in my #Tandem #tslim #insulinpump to help mitigate the issues I have balancing bolus response times & unpredictable #gastroparesis occurrence & duration. She’s not outright opposed which is nice, but she mentioned a different pump that is supposed to approximate how a pancreas works: #BetaBionics. I hadn’t heard of it. Does anyone have experience with this pump?

Attn: #T1D folks.

Have you any experience with #fiasp, particularly as used in an #insulin pump? How does it compare to #humalog or #novolog?

I take #novolog via my #tandem #tslim, but I’m finding it increasingly difficult to control my BG as my #gastroparesis grows more erratic over time. I’m wondering if a faster-acting insulin might help, allowing me to NOT bolus until I see a BG rise when my stupid stomach decides to start digesting (sometimes immediately, sometimes 4 hours later).

I really wish #tandemdiabetes #tslim #ControlIQ would stop trying to kill me every GD chance it gets with unnecessary correction boluses.

New sensor, who dis?

Note that on both urgent low alarms waking me up, I checked my blood and I was 111 and 113, respectively. And those spikes aren’t from my eating sugar, but rather my real BG after #Tandem #tslim #ControlIQ cut my #insulin off due to the false lows.

I’m not even sleeping on the sensor, so it’s not a compression low. It’s just #Dexcom sucking.

I really wish I could set a schedule for #ControlIQ. It’s maddening how often it just fucks my afternoon with this bullshit.

This #sensor made it about 6 hours before repeated #compressionlows triggering alerts on both my phone and #Tandem #tslim #insulinpump between midnight and 3am made me rip it out in a delirious rage.

It’s a love/hate relationship I have with #Dexcom #G6.

@GBDocChatHost A1) I currently use a Tslim X2 pump and Libre 2. I have a #Dexcom6 which I could use but am nervous to 1 apply it and also do the switch over from stand alone Tslim X2 to #BasalIQ and West Midlands #Tslim and #Dexcom6 user care to help? #GBDoc

So… I received a #tslim X2 #insulinpump from #TandemDiabetes today. Thing is, I didn’t order it. And they have no record of sending it. Nor does my supplier #EdgePark. And there are no insurance claims.

Tandem told me I should call those places to see what’s going on. I told the gentlemen, “Honestly, unless someone comes looking for $11k, I’m just going to hold onto it because it’s not my problem to figure out who screwed up.”

Poor guy didn’t know what to say with that & eventually agreed 😆

Now, I just get to wait and stare at this until the 21st when #Diabetes Education can squeeze me in to switch from my #tslimX2 by #TandemDiabetes to the new #Omnipod5 by #Insulet. I could just do it myself, like when I self started on the #tslim, but figured I probably shouldn’t upset them again. 😂

I think the thing I’m excited about the most is being tubeless, just because doorknobs and handles have been my greatest enemies, not to say a doorframe won’t become my new enemy. Also, I just love getting to use new #technology all the time. I’m happiest when I can use my joy for #tech and #nerd out with my #Type1Diabetes. 🤓

#Tandem #tslim #ControlIQ choosing straight VIOLENCE today, goddamn.

@bogosian @sara it won’t be integrated with #tandem #tslim for 3-6 months, though 🤦🏻‍♂️

Here’s to hoping the upcoming #Dexcom #G7 #CGM will be able to maintain a connection to a phone and #Tandem #tslim #insulinpump when it’s far away, like 2 ft on the other side of your body 🙄

I'm very excited that the #Dexcom G7 has received FDA clearance. As a #Type1Diabetic I'm always looking forward to new and improved technology to help me manage my #Diabetes. Now, it is just waiting on #Tandem to update the #tslimX2 to be compatible. If they say it is not, I feel that's going to be a cash grab, as the current pump already is capable of OTA software updates.
