I am using Tandem with G7, and I want to switch to an Omnipod. I realize the Omnipod does not yet use G7, but when it does, I want to switch. Has anyone stopped using a tubed pump and gone to Omnipod while they are still in the five-year period after acquiring their regular pump? I started tandem two years ago.
I did OmniPod 5 for about 7 months. I didn't mind it at all. No tubes to get caught on things. Then the new year started and my insurance out of pocketed me and I could not afford them anymore. It had… read more

I was diagnosed a year ago with Type 1 at the age of 64. My doctor is recommending that I consider an insulin pump and has given me brochures on the omnipod5, t-slim x2, and ilet bionic pancreas. I currently use the Dexcon G7 glucose monitor.
Any recommendations, pros/cons on any of these devices would be appreciated.

I currently use the Tandem T:slim X2 with the Dexcom G6 (switching to the G7 as soon as we can get a PA for it). I like it because I keep my blood sugars in tight range and with this pump I can… read more
I Don't Have Medicare, I got Approved for Mediciad but having issues with them approving Dexcom G7
In my 20's I controlled my weight by having high blood sugar. It also caused early kidney failure thus the kidney/pancreas transplant. It was all about me controlling something/anything in my life. Does anyone else do this, or thought about this? I wish I had the education and the new gadgets that are out now.
The tandem pump is made by tandem. Their pump is called tslim x2.
