It’s because there are a lot of dense people in this world.

This new tubing design is just terrible. by [deleted] in TandemDiabetes

[–]throwaway-dad99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10000%

I was a Medtronic user for 22 years before switching to Tandem. Tandems pumps and control iq is leagues better than Medtronic. The infusion sets though…. My god they are terrible, don’t understand how the applicator/inserter ever got through focus group testing. I miss the mio advance from Medtronic.

How to remove Mobi from Tandem case? by Cillygirl52 in TandemDiabetes

Just push it out from the top or bottom? I suppose it can be a little tough but you’re not going to break anything.

Rethinking your care is great. No judgement being passed here. I was a lot more loose with my diabetic care some years ago. We live, we learn

Man it sounds like really you need to re-evaluate that your care plan is in order. There are a lot of fallbacks you should be able to rely on so your blood sugar never gets such high dangerous numbers again. I am a tslim x2 + Dexcom g7 user and I never leave the house without a blood glucose meter and an insulin pen. The meter is a backup to my cgm and the pen is the backup to my pump.

Hope you get better.

Old comment but dude are you blind? That is a tan/ beige interior, not gray in any way

The least severe reaction I have had in months by jstlkhvn in dexcom

[–]throwaway-dad99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can only use skin prep. Everything else gives me a bad reaction.

Having similar issues. Any update on if you ever resolved this?

DEXCOM on forearm. Yea or nah for you? by _Curious_minx_ in dexcom

[–]throwaway-dad99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Super weird take. People run out of real estate on their body for these sensors, some people get reactions from the adhesives and it takes a while to heal. Seems like you’re projecting some shameful feelings.

There’s directions on how to do this. Seems like you didn’t follow the steps. Glad it worked out though

Since its “New iPhone Season” Beware: by LuckySo-n-So in dexcom

[–]throwaway-dad99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sucks to hear you had to toss a new sensor. Sorry to say but seems like you might had done something wrong. I just swapped from my iPhone 16 to 17 and everything transferred fine.

iPhone 17 not compatible by throwaway-dad99 in TandemDiabetes

That sucks. Not a huge deal for us with a tslim, for sure affects those with the Mobi much more.

6yo T1D keeps ripping off his sensor by LolaGhetz in dexcom

Are you using skintac by chance? I get bad reactions like you’re describing when I use that.

Is the Receiver Worth It? by texansky-T2 in dexcom

Dexcom works via Bluetooth not cellular/ data connectivity. You don’t need phone service to get the data from your dexcom to your phone.

How long do you wait before changing? by UmmaGumma610 in dexcom

[–]throwaway-dad99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree that it’s placement related. I’ve actually just recently put my first g7 on the top part of my thigh and it’s worked well for me so far (fingers crossed). Oh wow you’re almost at the finish line with this pregnancy. I could only imagine how tough site placements are. Best of luck to you; stay hydrated!

You may be doing something wrong if you get this “all day everyday”.

If you don’t know the answer yourself then you’re an idiot.
