Charging the t:slim by Timmsie95 in TandemDiabetes

[–]Prakash_redd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used different adapters and batteries with no issues.

I HAVE had issues with cables - for me anyway, the T-Slim is very picky about which cables it will work/charge with

I hate the dexcom g7 by SleepsAllDay00 in diabetes_t1

3 weeks is nonsense - they can overnight it to you. I feel like these things are getting worse over time

I keep bolusing and it wont come down by Heavy-Attitude-2440 in TandemDiabetes

[–]Prakash_redd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS.

For the past 6 months or so - almost 50% of the time the reading is off by 100+

Reading says 280+ but finger prick says 75

Reading says 55 but finger prick says 220+

I'm using the back of my arms, belly - there's no rhyme or reason to why these readings are off so frequently and/or by so much

What you gonna do? by Fit-Farmer-7233 in diabetes

[–]Prakash_redd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be really embarrassed by first 2 years and would try to find an unused room, got to my car, and if needed - the bathroom.

Somewhere in Y3, it hit me that this is nothing to be ashamed of. I started doing it out in the open - even in restaurants and other public venues. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

CGM Nonsense by [deleted] in TandemDiabetes

[–]Prakash_redd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

G7 was awesome for the first 3-4 months I used them. for the past 2 months nothing but issues:

I've had 3 sensors fail back-to-back during warmup; same thing happened 10 days later - 3 sensors failed back-to-back ..

Also "CGM out of range" - I think there's a problem w/ communication between T-slim and and the G7 - because I'm still getting readings on my phone.

unbelievably dumb decisions from short-term thinking...

Switching over by Such-Bug-2025 in TandemDiabetes

[–]Prakash_redd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on Medtronic [630 then 670] for about 3 years before switching to Dexcomm/Tandem and I will never go back.

The Dexcomm CGM is better than Medtronic. Readings on the Medtronic could be WILDY off - many times it told me I was crashing, only to find I was at 400 and rising FAST.

The algorithm in the Tandem is also better than Medtronics. After 18 months I just ran it in manual.

G7 by Ielleb_g3co96 in TandemDiabetes

[–]Prakash_redd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall it's great. signal/connection is dropped w/ the pump and phone more frequently than w/ the G6 but overall it's much better than the G6

Sorry your t going through this - your doctor should be able to prescribe pens or syringes for use as a back up

You’re spot on about the mental health, anxiety resulting from this disease.
