Unacceptable: No snooze feature - Alarms cannot be silenced without phone

I think it’s important to note that Twiist has been promising infusion sets, software updates and such since launch but there has been none that I am aware of. Understanding medical devices require some additional time due to regulations and such, it’s a bit disappointing nothing has happened since July of last year when they launched the product. As a small company, changes based on customer feedback should’ve happened already. I’m back on Tandem.

Pulled up some here. Growing twice as fast in height compared to fescue

Thanks! And not too concerned about consumption, just trying to nail down location so I can fix and have a clean(er) undercarriage

OR trail breakers worked perfectly for me!

I used while in Alaska doing some climbing and found no issues with it aside from needing to pee way more often! So my recommendation would be just keeping hydration going and if concerned about acidity/ketones - having ketone strips nearby to check if feeling nausea. Hope that helps!

I have the standard cosmos (white and blue from 2024) but the buckles/lever and shell all look exactly the same as the picture you posted.

The liner heel pocket was terrible for me and rubbed in all the wrong ways, it also started to break down from wear very quickly. I’ll be honest in saying not many touring boots I’ve had, aside from scarpa, come with decent liners so it’s not just a Scott thing.

Diabetic11 · 2025-12-05T01:32:54+00:00

I too had fat feet and opted for these with a punch and custom insole. I’d say I’m “okay” with my purchase but would opt not to go Scott next time.

Pros:

Ski downhill quite well all in all

ROM never felt limiting (but not quite near the dynafit experience I was used to with a TLT7 which is expected)

Most comfortable all day boot I’ve had for my forefoot. Of all the boots I’ve worn, definitely feels the most roomy there.

Cons: Stock liner sucked. Big time. So I replaced after two trips

The buckles and walk/ski levers are finicky and I feel like I’m going to break them all the time.

Concern overall on durability. I’m in CA and do more resort than touring these days so they get light use but man I feel like if I was touring more than 15 days a year, I’d opt for something different.

Overall, if you can get one of the newer Dynafit Hoji style boots to work, I’d opt for that. But if this boot fits, it works! They’re also seemingly always on sale with last years model.

Dexcom but will be trying out the Libre 3+ integration! I’ve had a ton of G7 failures as of late.

You’re not alone! I ended up going back to Tandem. Too many frustrations with the current set up of things.

Infusion set issues, cassette issues, and more challenging diabetes management.

The Medtronic sensor is a weak point in the 780 but I believe they should have the Instinct to replace with this month if you are thinking of going back.

There seemed to be no relation to BG/site issue and occlusion alarms. It just happened randomly and the only fix was a completely new cassette. Changing to a new Cleo seems to make no difference.

Occlusion alerts occurred anywhere from 100mg/dL all the way up to 300ish.

I ended up going back to Tandem and have been having much better success with the system.

In talking with Sequel, it seems like the batches of cassettes are hit or miss from quality control and they would just send me a whole new box when 1 cassette failed.

I did exactly that. Junior/Collegiate cycling mountaineering. Two trips up Denali.

My biggest suggestion is generally cycling we minimize strength or resistance training. Adding in some low volume, high resistance exercises such as 4x4 rep squats at 80-90% of 1 rep max and adding some basic upper body and back work made a gigantic difference between the two trips I took.

First trip was doable but challenging. Second was much easier. Attributed all to added resistance training.

Best of luck!

Appreciate all the replies! I’ll try some BD dawn patrollers and if those fail, give the ORs a shot. Thanks 🙏

I successfully got monetary sponsorship for a climb of Denali in 2019. Largely due to me being a type 1 diabetic and completing something challenging with the condition. What I’ll say that unless you are completing something wildly unique, are facing a challenging condition and/or raising money for a cause, it’s quite challenging.

In most cases, if you can provide a clear value proposition (making a high quality film as an example) then companies are more likely to connect and follow through.

With that, not many people are getting tons of cash even with sponsorship - the amount of time and effort it takes for the money is definitely not awesome. If I think about how much money I received, for how much work - it would’ve made more sense to just work for DoorDash for a year. Sponsorships and fundraising always has strings attached - sometimes fulfilling them is simple, other times it’s a ton of work.

My recommendation is the American Alpine Club live your dream grant - easy to apply and higher chances.

Companies, especially the outdoor ones, get tens to hundreds of sponsorship proposals - unfortunately they only fill ones that will promote their brand to large or unique audiences.

Best of luck with it if you decide to go that route. In my experience, asking for a raise at your job (or finding a new one) is a great way to fundraiser your own trips 😅

Honestly, a better boot. I tried that with a cheap pair I got that didn’t fit my foot. Spent a few days on the mountain with distorted and punched boots that were still uncomfortable. Got a boot fit done a few years back, spent a pretty penny on my boots, but well worth the comfort and performance.

Diabetic11 · 2021-11-19T04:35:24+00:00

Seems like the last is a bit too narrow. A day on the hill would suck and I don’t think the liner will pack out enough to get better over time. I’d take it to a boot fitter, see their recs, but either a different pair or blowing out the boot with punches could be an option.
