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

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

So right now Tandem is in the process of seeing if they can get my insurance to cover this insulin pump for me. I have so far found out that I am 100% covered so no out of pocket which is exact same thing that happened when I got my Omnipod. The…Continue

Comment by Mikey on November 15, 2012 at 1:24pm Hi All, thanks for all your posts...just became eligible for a pump and my Tandem is shipping to arrive next week! The rep already came by to do a demo a few weeks back, so it looks like they are getting a bit more organized and are lining up distributors for insurers that have not authorized Tandem (I have Aetna and Edwards Health is doing the pump).

Comment by Kat1997 on November 7, 2012 at 1:36pm I am the first one is our area to be on the t:slim and my team doesnt really know what all the new t:slim supplies are yet. I have the cleo90's and they rotate also, really small and stick very well. I also have to pry them off, with the medtronic ones i would be bright red and have infection where the cannula was inserted for the next week. with these im not having any issues. Thanks for the info on the Orbits, good to know if I ever want to try them. :)
Thank God for the butter section of our fridges! That's where I keep mine too! :-)
