Thank you. That was so much easier than trying to read through all the guides to reset up my pump.

[@jannellT6604]

Great video, thank you! Just received my T-Slim pump yesterday. After using a Medtronic Pump for 18 years, I'm making the switch and am so excited.

[@n2xrcise]

I have the previous model and just got the new one delivered the other day. I'm excited to finally be getting a new one. Had mine for 4 years.

[@dollyh223]

i just got a tslim today. had the same exact pump for 6 years and finally got my first new one

[@FTFWARRIOR]

That's so awesome! Congrats

[@marcialehto1535]

I'm up and running now on my x2. I love my new pump! So glad I went with Tandem.

[@FTFWARRIOR]

that's awesome! Congrats

[@groupmedicalsupplyllc2545]

Great video--thanks for sharing. It is incredibly helpful for new diabetics and even non-diabetics to learn how the set up process works!

[@FTFWARRIOR]

Thanks so much, I agree!

[@user-is5vp2nv9s]

Can you make pump totally silent ? Only vibrate? Thank you

[@brianbulman1990]

This is a huge help. Thank you, Brian

[@FTFWARRIOR]

Happy to help!

[@jeffreythompson6473]

I liked you video, thank you. I am soon to receive this same new pump and will be transferring all my data from a Medtronic 670G pump. I was particularly interested in your review of the alarms on the tandem. Having used a CGM for 12 years now, all while using a Medtronic pump, I am “alarm fatigued” to say the least. I look forward to minimizing alarms. Thank you again for posting and walking thru the set up. Helpful.

[@FTFWARRIOR]

Happy to help and happy that you found value!

[@Pink_jay80]

Thank you you made it so easy to change my basal rate my doctor told me to up it I had no idea thanks for your help

[@FTFWARRIOR]

No problem! Happy to help

[@ninas4968]

Thank you for that! I was just wondering how to like do the initial setup.

[@FTFWARRIOR]

glad it was helpful!

[@georgiahouston8163]

I have been on medtronic pumps since 2000. i receive my new tandem today via UPS. i was told too take classes prior too setting up my new pump? what do they mean classes? I never did with my Medtronic, just confused, along with anxious too finally have a pump with a brain. per se: any advice would be appreciated..

[@stacycarr8954]

can you tell me how to convert carbs to unit on the slim2 right now i do 6 units per 15 carbs with pen but on the slim2 there is no 6, I been waiteing to here from doc i had this slim2 since nov still waiting for aims training so iam trying to get a head start

[@marcialehto1535]

I'm using the medtronic 530g and it's so easy, but I got an upgrad to Tandem x2 supper excited and a bit nervous. When you first got on this pump did it seem difficult to figure out? Is it now no big deal once you have it all figured out? I'm waiting on a training date so Mines still in the box.

[@n2xrcise]

I have the G4 version and at first it took me forever to reload it, but I pretty quickly got the hang of it. Now I can get up and do it in the middle of the night w/o my glasses on! I'm hoping the X2 is the same. It just came in and I'm hoping I can skip training....

[@davidstokes9706]

Why if the Tslim works with the Dexacom, rather than carrying around the Dexcon RX just have the alerts from the TSlim? I have the Medtronic 770g. Looking at switching. Just because. Never had a problem with Medtronic pumps.

[@medicalpump9275]

Would you please do a review for my pump?

[@vamsikrishnan8275]

Hi FTF warriors , I am from india.I have seen couple of ur videos .I am excited to purchase Tandem t:slim & dexcom device ,but in india seems its not available .Can u please help me on this where I can purchase this .

[@VENO5407]

I accidentaly changed my language when the language options popped up after running out of battery. Where do I change back? I am not able to find the language options

[@elqrg10]

I’m a new user for this insulting pump, I just want to know if I have to do anything before taking off to shower? Do I have to turn it off while I shower or just take it off?

[@FTFWARRIOR]

That's a personal preference, though I usually pause insulin delivery since I'm not connected when it's off. Hopefully that makes sense

[@DaedalusCreative]

If your bg is high and control-iq is not lowering it enough, do you ever enter “fake” carbs that you didn’t actually eat or is there a better way?

[@FTFWARRIOR]

There's definitely "options" that I teach... but those are in our program since I can't recommend off label use in a public setting. I hope you can understand

[@TheBekahning]

Hello! I'm actually getting a t:slim x2 as my first ever pump. I've been a t1d for 17 years but I've always used vials and syringes. Do you have any tips for a first time pump user?

[@FTFWARRIOR]

Beware of getting the tubing caught on things.. consider tucking it in somewhere haha. But congrats!!

[@tarasantos428]

I am stuck at the first step the beeping is driving me nuts I go to Dr tomorrow so i can get started i plugged it in to make sure its chargrd and here i am i guess ill have to put it in the other room let it beep till i see Endo in the AM lol

[@dannycohen1137]

Where did you get your T slim case?

[@FTFWARRIOR]

I actually have two favorites, one from Tandem directly (but I think they stopped selling them?) and another high quality one from "Type 1 Tactical"

[@hermionegranger5885]

Our max is 25, which do you prefer omnipod or tslim

[@FTFWARRIOR]

I've actually only used Tandem, and I love it

[@rhdtv2002]

I love love Omnipod..the freedom of tubes is the best BUT I'm moving to Tandem because my health and control of my BS should be better with Tandem and their close loop. Omnipod keeps promising it and they haven't delivered. They are close but nothimg new I haven't heard. My choice would be to stay with Omnipod if I was 100% certain it's coming out FOR SURE on a certain date

[@DietCoke88]

11 units max? Dang I take 30 unit boluses all the time.

[@julia-pq5fg]

hi

[@FTFWARRIOR]

hi!

[@labuckfelder]

You were diagnosed old, right?

[@FTFWARRIOR]

Correct, at age 19

[@dannareed6577]

Slow down too fast

[@timo5532]

need to shut off ALL AUDIBLE alarms. ALL. It is going to cost me my job because coworkers and customers panic. It is going to cause a car accident obnoxiously frequent alarms driving. Tandem is building devices with no knowledge of the amount of time it take for oral sugar to rise blood glucose? absolutely no idea? Pump alarms loud over and over, 10 times, in the amount of time it takes blood glucose to rise? We need to get together with a class action law suit for negligence. I even got thrown out of church for "An electronic device not alarm not turned off. How many people have died taking their seatbelt off and drive into bridge abutments trying to shut the screaming alarm off? Is there a hack, or schematic of pump so I know where to drill a hole to hit the specker and destroy it? It's actually alarmed 6 times right now, because they are too ignorant to know how long it takes insulin to bring down a sugar. Thats negligence. Need a link to a schematic on where to drill a hole or how to crack case open to get to that speaker and rip out.

[@pbassassinz8097]

How do you turn off the alerts I dont want to be walking around sounding like R2D2 at work?

[@FTFWARRIOR]

Control IQ alerts (like the high and low alerts) can't be changed, but you can change the CGM alerts in the phone (which I do)

[@pbassassinz8097]

Alright I'll try that out thanks for the reply.
