  If you use a CGM, in what situations has a sensor accidentally been pulled off your body? Select all that apply and share your own in the comments.
  With sweat, the tape loses its stickiness and the sensor falls off.

  In 2022, I was in the hospital 3 times, in which they took my pump away and had to wait till i got it back. Have it now and am Happy

  Started back on DYI Loop after a couple of year hiatus. The 3.0 release is quite good.

  I started using a Cequr Insulin patch in December. It's like a manually operated pump but more similar in size to a Dexcom and the insertion is similar to a Dexcom or an Omnipod. It's a 3-day wearable patch. I love it more than I thought I would. It's not high-tech, but it is attached, making insulin delivery much easier. I have 5 small children and travel a lot for work, so pumps would be harder to deal with. It's very convenient, and it makes life so much easier

  I agree with you! Insurance companies need to be a bit more understanding. I have had long conversations with my insurance company about my diabetic needs they could not understand.

  Stayed on my Tslimx2 pump and Dexcom CGM6 all year. If the Medicare 5 year rule applies to both devices then it will be a few years until I can do any changes. I'm hoping that Dexcom will stop producing the CGM6 and only have the CGM7's but I don't think that will happen.

  My Tandem x2 w IQ control ran out of warranty. So long before it ended started the process for a new pump. Now my new pump is working, I choose the same manufacturer & exact same pump but now I have a warranty!

  I have another 3 years before I'm eligible to replace my pump. Remember, it's five years when on Medicare Part "B".

  My Tandem T-slim 2x is running out of warranty in 2023. I am not sure if which new model of Tandem is coming out: The mobi or the T-slim3. My warranty expires in August so I hope to know by then which model is coming out and I hope to make a decision then.

  Switched from Tandem CIQ to Omnipod 5, but am thinking of switching back, was getting better control with the Tandem, but the ease of filling with the POD and no tubing is hard to give up. If Tandem gets the G7 first, that would make me switch back immediately. Both are excellent pumps.

  Moved from Omnipod Dash to Omnipod 5 in July and love it! Had to be patient to learn the correct settings and for it to learn my patterns, but noticing that it’s working great now and I’m feeling really wonderful.

  Changed CGM from Libre free style 1 which was not on the list of items sponsored by the Irish government to a newly paid for one Dexcom G7 after four years of me (us) lobbying to one of them on the long term illness list of items. It happened about October of this year. A milestone in the Irish health I have to say and a life changer in my 52 years of T1 Diabetes life.

  I’ve been using the same cgm and pump (Medtronic 670) all year but I bought a new pump (tandem) in October. I haven’t started using the new system yet because insurance wouldn’t let me order supplies for it. My Medtronic pump’s warranty expired in April and my pump had a huge crack down the side. However, insurance said I still had supplies for the old pump so they wouldn’t fill a prescription for the new pump supplies. Even if my old pump quit working, they wouldn’t allow me to get supplies for the new pump until the supply period was over. It’s been a nightmare but thankfully my supplies (and pump) have lasted me this long. Of course I’ll need to switch over in the new year, right when my deductible starts over—of course!! 😡

  I chose the responses that I did not change my pump or CGM, but I did get a new pump - - the old one was out of warranty, so I was able to get a new one of the same brand/model.

  Hi Lucia - BIQ only controls low blood sugars whereas CIQ controls “highs” as well. My issue was that I keep very tight control (my A1cs are in the low 5’s) and CIQ only allows blood sugar to get as low as 110 before it decreases basal rates. I prefer to keep my blood sugars lower than that so would only use it at night. But then my nighttime blood sugars were higher than I prefer, given the 110 target. Hope that helps!
