  How often do you get bruises at injection sites or device sites?
  Once in a rare while, I get irritation and redness but have not had bruising.

  I just started using Lumijev in my pump. So far, it's not much better than the Humalog I was using. Oh well...

  I just got the Omnipod 5 and a couple years ago switched my insulin to Fiasp.

  I was diagnosed 2 years ago and am using insulin delivery methods and brands that were prescribed then.

  Insurance determines what insulins I use and the monitoring device(s) I use and the method of delivery. I tried to get on a pump more than once but was denied by medical insurance. Even if I finally get approved, there’s a additional copays for pump and pump accessories. I copay about $65 each month for a vial of glargine and a vial of lispro. My blood glucose (One Touch) is free, but I copay for the strips. For my Dexcom 6 I must copay $127.85 every two months to Byram. I pay $83 per month for the cheapest Medicare plan I can get. My total prescription out of pocket costs for the first 6 months of 2022: $418. For lab tests, hearing test, eye exam, tech visits, doctor visits I paid $485 out of pocket. If I ever reach $5,800 out of pocket costs this year, I will no longer pay out of pocket Medicare Part A and Part B services. I pay out of pocket for dentist every 6 months, and expect to pay over $4000 for new pair of rechargeable in-the-ear hearing aids with Bluetooth capacity. (Costco members pay half as much for hearing aids.) Medicare has paid for extra depth shoes and orthotics, but that requires a $100 copay. I’d rather pay $200 per pair and see a guy who really knows about foot-care, than the Medicare approved podiatrist who prescribed shoes that fit too tight. Needless to say, I try to keep my medical costs down by taking responsibility daily for healthcare.

  Lawrence S: Not even all iPhones (Apple) are compatible with App for Dexcom CM. Check with your diabetes tech team to find which brands and which models will will work with your CM brand and model. I found an older cheaper iPhone for $400 that is capable of working with Dexcom 6, but do not use it. With my iPhone I have to swipe or press the ON button, enter security password, then would have to touch the app which is 3 steps. Using the Dexcom 6 receiver I just press one button once to get current reading.

  Sorry it didn't work for you. If that happened to me, I'd be on the phone to Tandem tech support.

  In February I switched from my Medtronic 723 out of warranty pump to the tandem T slim X2 pump with control IQ. I was very anxious to be able to take advantage of a hybrid closed loop system and have been very pleased with a lowering of my hemoglobin A-1 C from about 6.8 to 6.4 and an increased time in range. Also improved quality of life especially being able to sleep through the night without alarms most of the time and waking up with a blood sugar in the normal range.

  Today!!! Sort of… I pick up my Omnipod 5 G6 Intro Kit (gen 5) this afternoon. First change from all the Medtronic pumps since 2006. I liked them. Medicare didn’t cover Medtronic’s cgm so had to switch to Dexcom some time ago. Tubeless will be an adventure.

  I began using the tandem pump last fall after 62 years os t1d. I always did well on mdi (and before that, twice a day mph and regulation and before that…. One shot a day of Lente), I consider myself a lucky diabetic that I haven’t had a lot of complications. The pump is nice but not really a whole lot easier than the control I had with mdi. Just more convenient.

  Around two years or so ago, I started the Control-IQ software on the current Tandem pump and Dexcom G6 CGM being used. I had been using different pumps for quite some time. No longer needing to use finger sticks was nice and the automatic updates to my insulin delivery has definitely helped myself and my doctor determine my insulin sensitivities and control the hypoglycemia.

  Switched from standard Omnipod DASH program to Loop_Dev. Reduced/elimnated need for PDM, using primarily iPhone. Not having to carry two devices is a great relief.

  I had been on a Medtronic pump for 18 years, until the sensors started failing, which I thought was due to poor quality control and Covid. I switched to the same pump and sensor. I am relatively happy again and looking to upgrade my system to be able to give blouses on my phone. I never thought I would make it this far, 53 years of DM.

  After a two year pump vacation on MDI using Dexcom and the InPen, I returned to a Tandem pump, this time with Control IQ. Though it was nice being free of pump paraphernalia, I didn’t have the glucose control I desired and hoped that my body had recovered from years of infusion sets. I’m using the TruSteel sets and that’s seems to be going very well. Just started bolusing from my iPhone too which I like a lot.
