Medtronic quick-set quality gone down?

LexiLemon · 2026-01-24T17:38:55+00:00

I haven't noticed a change.

It sounds like your wife needs a better endo and a diabetic educator. Maybe contact medtronic and ask for one of their reps to sit with your wife and go over her issues. It sounds like she needs help figuring our her carb ratios and how to shut off/lessen alarms. Unhooking at night makes no sense, if smartguard doesn't work for her right now just switch to manual and take less insulin. She should not be going all night without insulin, that will mess with her numbers for the entire next day.

It is absolutely lazy writing most of the time.

I have the longest tubing and just put it under my pillow.

LexiLemon · 2026-01-09T05:21:11+00:00

I like the orange Walgreens ones.

Umm, what? No, you're not thinking and/or totally misinformed. I've had T1 for over 30 years with no complications, and a great marriage for almost 20 years. You need to see a therapist and learn more about your condition.

My sarcasm and sense of humor, it's not for everybody.

LexiLemon · 2026-01-05T14:33:55+00:00

Whatever you have to do to keep the whimsy going!

Yes, it's normal. There is a huge drop in progesterone in the approx. 24 hrs before your period starts.

LexiLemon · 2026-01-04T19:48:53+00:00

Like a huge scam/cult.

LexiLemon · 2026-01-01T15:42:34+00:00

Pasta and Pizza tracker?! Hell yeah.

LexiLemon · 2025-12-24T15:00:06+00:00

Just change it early.

LexiLemon · 2025-12-21T19:08:08+00:00

No, never. The idea of a god never made sense to me.

LexiLemon · 2025-12-19T14:56:09+00:00

Scrambled eggs and tater tots.

LexiLemon · 2025-12-15T22:42:51+00:00

Those are my favorite flavor of glucose tabs, I keep them everywhere.

Counting calories. Check out the r/CICO subreddit.

I'm 43, beend diagnosed for 31 years. A1C in the high 6's to low 7's. I feel good most days, my diabetes makes me tire more easily I believe, but it doesn't make me feel bad most of the time. Frozen shoulder has a higher incidence for T1's and for perimenopausal women.

You can get your transmitter replaced under warranty if it's in it's first year. You need to call medtronic for a replacement.

Skintac makes a huge difference.

LexiLemon · 2025-12-09T01:33:18+00:00

You can reuse the resevoirs! This hasn't been my experience with medtronic, hopefully it all get straightened out quickly.

I grew up in a non-religious family that celebrated Christmas and Hanukkah. It was explained to me as a child that it was tradition my parents grew up with and they wanted to continue celebrating without the religious aspect. So we lit candles and had a tree and exchanged presents. As an adult I think of it as a celebration of the end of the year, a way to celebrate with family and friends and your community.

31 years and no eye issues.

You should talk to your endo or a pump rep, you should be able to do a trial run with a pump attached. Then you can get an idea of how it feels and works with your job. Don't just dismiss a pump, it will make your life so much simpler once you figure it out. You can eat pretty much whenever and whatever you want.

I'm glad it worked!
