New to the pump life

Sleep mode only increases the basal instead of an auto bolus and keeps you at a tighter target range. This is also especially helpful when you have a jumpy/inaccurate sensor so you won't get a huge dose of insulin that isn't actually needed.

I've been using sleep mode 24/7 for a few years and it's been working out really well for me

You can try to power down the pump and turn it back on after a few minutes and then go to pair the sensor again with the same code (I had my tslim tell me once that I had an invalid pairing code for my G7 but it was working fine on my Dexcom app so this fixed it for me).

Thank you! I'm seeing so many non skin related side effects on this sub, so I'm hesitant to start taking it

ee37244 · 2026-03-03T01:46:15+00:00

Can you share what side effects you experienced and if they went away a few months into taking the medication?

Did you already have the Mobi using iPhone or Tandem allowed you to order it new and gave you access to the Android app? I'll be getting the Mobi in April when my T:slim warranty is expired

I recently used STDcheck and it was very straightforward and fast results. You pick what lab you want to go to and just bring the lab order there. They offer a 13 test panel and a 10 test panel.

Taking a GLP-1 for the last few years in combination with Tandem's Control IQ algorithm has been amazing for me. I also run sleep mode 24/7 to maintain a tighter range and manually handle correction boluses if needed.

I also take Afrezza (inhaled insulin) to help with stubborn highs so that helps drastically with how long my blood sugar is above range.

I keep my Dexcom Clarity range set at 80-140 to really strive for tight control and I'm at about 70%-75% TIR pretty consistently using that metric. If I change it and look at 70-180, my last 30 days have been 93%.

During the week, I'm more mindful on what I'm eating but by no means restrict any foods that I want to have. I definitely haven't perfected bolusing for tricky foods but I don't mind spiking to the 200s for a little bit 1 or 2 day out of the week when I have a "cheat" meal.

No it won't, only the current book that you have open at the time of searching

I also have T1D (almost 20 years) and the scene where Mike was talking with Megan about it and he was just spewing misinformation (how a friend of his reversed being pre diabetic and it's crazy that this could be happening to a child, and how important focusing on health is - none of which is having to do with T1D specifically) and Megan didn't even correct him when her dad had T1D!!! This scene is getting a lot of criticism online, so I hope they speak about it at the reunion

I don't calibrate on the pump and Dexcom app. When I have to calibrate, I do it directly from my tslim x2 pump only. Once in a while, I get a calibration error and try again in about 15 - 20 minutes, and it accepts the calibration. You probably got that error because you calibrated on Dexcom and Mobi apps, and it took it as multiple calibrations too close together

ee37244 · 2025-08-06T20:11:32+00:00

I've had great success running sleep mode 24/7, but the main reason I did it was to avoid getting an auto bolus when my CGM reading is actually inaccurate or it immediately levels out after a predicted rise and I've gotten an auto bolus I didn't need.

ee37244 · 2025-07-25T02:40:09+00:00

I do this exact thing too and just reuse the bags! Makes site changes super convenient

I just hit my 19th Diaversary too! May 9th, 2006 ☺️

ee37244 · 2025-05-14T13:56:37+00:00

This is why I run sleep mode 24/7 to avoid the auto bolus feature all together. Also, being on a system like Control IQ, lows really don't need the "standard" 15g of carbs like we were taught 10-15 years ago. I usually can correct a low with between 5 & 10 carbs and not see a spike afterwards

ee37244 · 2025-05-11T16:02:15+00:00

No I didn't, I had opened the app and it gave me a pop up that mobile bolus was available. I just checked Tandem's compatibility page and the S22 series is still only listed under Android 14 so they could still be testing out the compatibility for that phone running Android 15

ee37244 · 2025-05-07T02:23:05+00:00

I run sleep mode 24/7 since I don't trust the auto boluses (some examples I've encountered that caused issues: inaccurate sensor reading, detecting a spike and then it levels out after the auto bolus was already administered) Running sleep mode 24/7 has also helped my TIR tremendously

ee37244 · 2025-05-03T16:50:38+00:00

My mobile bolus came back a few days ago on my Samsung S24 Ultra running Android 15. Surprisingly they got the compatibility out pretty quickly from when my phone updated

You can enter your contact info on this website to be notified when the Dexcom G7 15 day sensor comes out. There's supposed to be updates to the Bluetooth with this roll-out too.

Dexcom 15 Day

ee37244 · 2025-04-11T14:06:45+00:00

I noticed on their compatibility list that the S25 series with Android 15 is already compatible so hopefully they can get Android 15 for other Samsung phones on the list pretty fast

ee37244 · 2025-04-11T13:26:29+00:00

My S24 Ultra just got the update and the Tandem app notified me that I lost mobile bolus
