Hi All,
Having had T1D for some 40 years, I’ve hit a wall with how hard I can change and implement my efforts to keep diabetes in a good place … now for my new phase on the Tslim pump alongside the dexcom cgm.
I’d like to hear from you, if you have the same pump/cgm combination, to share on the following areas if you’re happy to share your experiences:
-comparing hypo awareness to the predictive alert of the cgm/pump (I’m curious how long it takes to sync up with the body).
-what is it like sleeping with the pump attached?
-what precautions do I need for travelling abroad? I’ll be travelling via Ryanair to Austria later in the year and coming back via train.
-how secure are the cgm and pump during exercise ( I am a keen road cyclist, wall climber and runner).
-are there any good accessories to make carrying a pump around better (keeping it at the right temperature, making it wearable via clips etc, personalising it, making it secure)?
-good things to tell curious children (I work with children and have two wonderful nephews who always ask about my Libre monitor).
Look forward to hearing from everyone who can share some experiences/information!
