Learn About Insulin Pump With Dexcom 7
Diabetes 1, 54 yrs, I want to learn about getting a insulin pump.
I use the Tandem T:slim X2 with the G7. I like that the two are integrated. The Omnipod also integrates with the G7, but I didn't like the pod. I had too many failed pods and I had to fill it with more than a 3 day supply of Insulin with no way to use it beyond the 3 days. Too much waste overall. I should note, this was not the latest Omnipod 5 model.
I find the tubing on my pump doesn't bother me. Some people don't like tubing though.
I like that I can micro-bolus with the T:slim. Another thing the Omnipod won't do. I am very sensitive to insulin and only use @ 20 units per day, so the ability to micro-dose is helpful.
I Am Looking Into Getting An Insulin Pump And Would Really Appreciate Getting Info On Different Ones.....also Pros And Cons With Pumps.
Amy Suggestions Or Comments About The Tandem X2 Pump? My Endocrinologist Is Wanting Me To Get This And I'm Clueless. Tia
I Will Be Meeting With My New Endocrinologist Next Week. I Want To Ask Him If I Can Get On The Omnipod 5. Is Anyone On A Pump? Pros & Cons?
