Just connect to a USB port and you're ready to go. With that option and direct plug-in either to the wall or the car has to make t:slim quite unique. Thanks again for the close-ups."

flipper replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Any detailed reviews about how things are going' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"Hi Janice L. and you too Jigger. I'm getting ready for pump #5. I have had MiniMed 508's and Cozmo's. The t:slim looks pretty darn good. I'm curious about the tail that connects the infusion set to the pump. How does it connect…"
Janice L Cotton replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Any detailed reviews about how things are going' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"I find the insulin delivery sounds like someone shushing you...asking you to be quiet. Lol! This pump actually has few button pushes/screen touches than most. Love my pump!"
Mikey replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Any detailed reviews about how things are going' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"I am a first time pumper and have been on the tSlim for about a month. I have had no problems and am really loving it. It is very easy to use and the Insulin on Board function is very helpful. Charging during showers has not been a problem...I have…"
Spenser Beasley replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Any detailed reviews about how things are going' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"thanks for the responses and keep the coming. I think my biggest concerns were the bubbles problems with the reservoir but hopefully that will be a non issue. I really hope i get approved for the tslim and I cant wait to see the dexcom integration.…"
"I've never had problems with bubbles caused by the reservoir, only with the lure lock. But of course this is not a t:slim issue but rather common to all lure lock sets. That said, it's easy to see and get rid of bubbles when first loading.…"
2TonTommy replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Any detailed reviews about how things are going' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"I am considering the t:slim also. I read that some people have problems with bubbles. Since you can't see the reservoir you don't know if bubbles are in it when filling it with insulin. Yes, you will see bubbles in the tubing…"

Janice L Cotton replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Any detailed reviews about how things are going' in the group Tandem T:Slim Users"Hi Spenser, I've been a t:slim user for nearly 8 weeks now. I love it! I've had absolutely no issues. The pump is incredibly simple to use. There are several reviews out there; plus there's another group on FB--Tandem tSlim Pump. I…"

Any detailed reviews about how things are going
I am in the process of ordering a Tslim, but before I do I was just wondering if anyone has any reviews of how things are going with their tslim? I have seen some of the reviews people posted when they first got their pumps but I am more interested to see how everyone is liking the tslim now that they have been using it for a while? Any occlusion issues, durability issues, annoyances, poor customer service? Thanks. Also, does anyone know when the tconnect software will be released?See More

MelissaBL said… - Welcome to TuDiabetes, Spenser. Wow, you and I were diagnosed just a few weeks apart. I was diagnosed on July 3, 1990. You might be interested in our discussion groups for Dexcom users or CGM users. I've been wearing a Freestyle Navigator (another CGMS) since Nov of '08 and love it.
