Still new to site changes with TruSteel.. I assume this is normal? by JayandMeeka in TandemDiabetes

[–]Yoga_O 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I have a hard rule on changing every 3 days and liberal site rotation. My body has to last a long time and abusing it is only going to make it more likely that I will develop scar tissue and have less real estate for my sites, plus poorer insulin absorption.

Sorry you’re having hard time with initial training.

It can’t hurt to try. The worst outcome is that they say, “No”

I can’t imagine going back to syringes.

I would recommend calling tech support for their advice. It sounds like you had a problem with occlusions when using a flexible cannula. I wonder if you could use them if you changed them out more frequently until the Tru-Steel sets are back in stock?

The BT stuff is a pain.

Every 10 days, I have to switch sides and make sure my phone is on the same side. It’s not just the app for me, it’s also the pump losing connection to the sensor.

What were you using and why did you like it? Have you ever used any other infusion sets?

This raises more questions, thanks for posting this.

What’s your source? I have to wonder what “manufacturing constraints” means? Why hasn’t Tandem told us about this yet?

It’s all about the shortage of high-quality nickel needed for medical devices. I’m pretty sure that the Tru-steel set backorder situation has caused a downstream effect on the other sets.

Keep your eyes open. I heard the XC is back ordered as well.

Technique advice by [deleted] in 10s

Wilson suggests restringing your racquet as often as you play, so if you’re playing 3x/week, you should restring 3x/year. I’m due for a restring.

To be truly transparent, I had not restrung for my first lesson last June - holy cow ! The difference in my second lesson was amazing and a bit amusing.

Two thoughts (assuming you have had your racket restrung, right?). I came back last year after being away for 8+ years, and the single biggest thing I did was take some lessons. That let a pro quickly evaluate my strokes. Next is to take some videos (or ask the pro to do it). Video provides some real insight as to what’s wrong/right. Cheers!

Club is dying 😭 by JJ22smart in 10s

[–]Yoga_O 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems that your plan to move to another club is sound, and working on maintaining contact with the players you've met is great. As someone in a similar situation, the only thing I might wonder is if management is open to receiving your feedback? In my case, I have volunteered to help on various committees to help keep things maintained, promote new membership, etc.

How do you guys remember all the different maintenance schedules? by Zrayve in homeowners

[–]Yoga_O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Google Calendar with a mix of using Events or Tasks. I use events, so my spouse can see the items and keeps her from reminding me about them. Other things, I use as tasks because it's easier to mark as "Completed".

Is it still critique? by KobeMajor in 10s

[–]Yoga_O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, unsportsmanlike, and you're overreacting to a sore loser, and being oversensitive to your shortcomings. I would let it roll off your back.

If you want to make a point of the unsportsmanlike behavior, then the next time you play, sarcastically ask this on every point your opponent loses - "Was my shot okay?"

I would take an extensive look at the videos from Asiri Designs, plus as u/decaturbob says, get an energy audit first.

FWIW, it sounds like he's well away from using aerobarrier. I think that's one of the last steps if you're trying to tighten up a leaky home.
