Bubble int he lure lock - anyone else?

Started by JiMMy. Last reply by Kenny May 14. 9 Replies

Ok this is the third change I've done on the tSlim now. I take time to try to make sure all the bubbles are out. And it seems to me that they are. But I've noticed a bubble in the lure lock. I can't get it out either. As much as I tap it the bubble…Continue

How I beat the bubbles

Started by Lizzie. Last reply by Lizzie Apr 25. 2 Replies

I've been using the tslim since February. By far, my biggest frustration has been with the loading process and the bubbles that I'd continue to find in my tubing for the next three days. Tandem support told me to make sure that I was using room temp…Continue

Leilani...I posted a picture of the inside of one of my Vera Bradley cases on my Tu page.
Comment by Allie Beatty on April 21, 2013 at 12:35pm

Hey Erika, the documentation says that the t:slim is "watertight", but cannot be immersed in water. So no, swimming with the t:slim isn't likely a good idea.

Comment by Erika on April 21, 2013 at 12:18pm

Can you swim with the t:slim?

Comment by Allie Beatty on April 21, 2013 at 12:11pm

Out of curiosity, I asked Tandem Diabetes Care to arrange a call with someone who could tell me about the t:slim. As a result, I spoke with Linda Parks, National Director, Clinical Education at Tandem Diabetes Care. It became the featured podcast for "Allie's Voice About Diabetes" .

Please let me know what you think of the interview. Every week, I speak with people and researchers making a difference in life with diabetes.Also let me know if you'd like to see specific research or products featured in the show.

Thanks... I'll have to check it out!

I ordered the Vera Bradley cases from their Internet site. Dillard's and Hallmark stores also carry them.
Comment by Janice L Cotton on April 15, 2013 at 9:29pm
For some reason, I cannot post a pic here. I do have it on my Tu page.
Comment by Leilani on April 15, 2013 at 8:12pm

Or... I guess that request should have gone to you Janice!

Comment by Leilani on April 15, 2013 at 8:11pm

Natalie... can you share where you bought the Bradly ID clip cases... and perhaps a picture of the t-slim and Dex in the case? Sounds neat!

Comment by Janice L Cotton on April 15, 2013 at 6:30pm
