CHANGING AN AUTOSOFT 90 DEGREE SITE | TANDEM T:SLIM X2

[@catsmeow5566]

Thank you for this video. My mother recently got the pump and its about time to change the canula (the cartridge still has enough insulin). The little zip bag for stuff is a great idea. That will make keeping things organized much easier. Do you have one that explains how to remove the old canula and stuff? I suppose I can find that in another video. I think it seems straightforward but I'm worried about doing it wrong and since its' a weekend the doctor's office is currently closed. The Nurse Practitioner (NP) who specializes in diabetes care is the one who set the pump up for us and put everything on. I'm my mother's caregiver and she relies on me to change out her dexcom sensors (which we've had for a couple of months now) and she will want me to help her with this as well. The NP actually showed a trick with drawing the insulin where you fill the syringe with air first and then push the air into the vial (while holding the vial upsidedown like you did) and the syringe will then fill with insulin by itself, except for the last few bits that you need to draw down. This may be a dumb question, but say its been a few days and I want to change the cartridge but there is still a good amount of insulin in it (because the NP filled it to max): Can I remove the cartridge and draw the insulin out of it to put it in a new cartridge? Or should I just keep using that particular cartridge until the pump tells me its time to change it?

Thanks for the quality video. Did the pump improve your a1c?

[@MaddieNielsen]

Yes it most certainly has! 😊

Maddie you do your site changes the exact same way that I do mine lol...!!!

What was the tip near the end? It said "after I change my pump" and was missing something.

I like omnipod but this is very interesting and informative

[@dizzypancreaspump]

Can I fill the cartridges ahead of time and leave them in the fridge?

Thanks for this, Maddie. I'm new to the autosoft90 (previous Trusteel), and this helped me a lot! Cheers from NZ! :)

All that tubing makes me nervous. So much variation and pressure with such a precise device. I guess it works and you have to have confidence that it works.
