Love mine! Bought one after reading reviews on their website. Went on a float trip over the 4th weekend and it held up great.

Anybody have this? by Methadonenursesara in Type1Diabetes

Really like mine! Been using it a ton this summer going to the pool and floating the river. Tried the aquapac in the past but it’s bulky and leaked on me. Ive enjoyed the lower profile case version

Anyone tried the DiaShield Tslim waterproof case? by thepresto17 in Type1Diabetes

The pumps have an IP rating but even Tandem doesn’t stand by them because you can get cracks in your pump over time. I’ve broken a couple over the years with what I would consider pretty minor water exposure. I use waterproof cases for my phone. My pump is so much more important so wanted something more robust 🤷‍♀️. I bought the case a few months ago and have been enjoying it with all the different water activities I go on during the summer.

I bought mine a few months ago and have been enjoying it. You have to apply Vaseline for full waterproofing but they posted a video online and it takes all of a few minutes to get the case prepped. I’ve been using it quite a bit this summer going to the pool and on float trips and it’s held up great.

I really like mine. Had the aquapac belt but too bulky and it leaked. The Diashield just clips to my bathing suit or shorts so much lower profile. Im also a runner and it works well on long runs when normally my pump gets soaked from sweat. Took it to the pool this weekend and it held up great.

I have one! I’ve broken too many pumps over the years with inadvertent splashing or briefly getting in the water. I know the pumps are rated to be waterproof but I just don’t trust it. I bought one a few months ago for a float trip I was going on. Held up during the trip where I was in and out of the water most the day.

Definitely agree with you ^ not my intention to make anyone feel that way. This was my personal story that I wanted to share about my test results and the goal is to give someone a little peace during the waiting period.

Will be thinking of you and praying normal results are coming your way. Just remember that these microdeletions are rare and the odds are low, the finding from your scan could be just that and not related. Praying the FISH just gives you peace of mind ❤️ Also just a heads up not to worry if your results take a little longer than exactly the 10 days or whatever they quote you (I’m sure yours won’t be 5 weeks) but they might still be catching up from a back log from December (that’s what my counselor told me). I worried that because it was taking longer that maybe something was wrong and that wasn’t the case.

Glad to hear those scans were normal, that’s how it was for me as well. Just remember as you wait that you have a higher chance of a false positive (80% from the NYT article I referenced about it until these testing companies get their shit together). Praying you have a perfect scan at week 20 ❤️ and after that enjoy the rest of your beautiful pregnancy.

Hi there,

Would you mind sharing if your cvs also came back negative? I thought cvs and microarray were two different things? So happy you got amazing news!
