Very interested in the 800 series from Medtronic but being that small will it be totally controlled by an app? I am dead set against that because they will insist you never update your phone and that is the largest security risk possible for a device that holds all our personal data.
Tandem has been good in getting their app upto speed after a new iOS update. Dexcom not so much. Still hasn't been updated to the new iOS and it has been months!
Yeah so phone control is a very complicated thing. I hate that companies tend to only support expensive phones. On the flip side, those smartphones get software updates and can support the app for years. Companies most definitely should provide a lot more support to older phones and options for individuals without phones.
Fully phone app controlled? As someone who wants lastest security updates on phone and lastest upgrades to operating software on their android phone it's almost impossible to get phone pump app to operate as the companies never allow newest operating system to function with their app. Example, tandem allows busing from phone app but not on newest upgrade. Medtronic will be even worse based on my past experiences. I finally jail broke my system to get glucose on my watch several years ago. It made my life so much easier to see glucose levels at a glance. Only recently has it become more essy to do this on Android watches.
I do understand why Medronic wants to remove screen from 800 series pump. I just think it a backstep as it enforces the need of a mobile for control. There are times when we don't have mobile on hand and may need to manually control or suspend etc.
I'm on the Medtronic system mostly because that's who my Endocrinologist connected me with almost 4 years ago. My diagnosis was type TWO diabetes 25 years ago. Several years ago my new and current endocrinologist changed my diagnosis to type 1 and suggested a pump. I just trusted that he knew what my insurance would cover. I'm a lifelong resident of the USA and here everything is very expensive and most of us have to accept what our insurance wants us to use. The different big companies make deals with the other big companies. I didn't even know at the time that there were so many different companies making devices. What should I request now and why because supposedly it's after 4 years that you might have the option of making changes and for me that is in about 1 month.
Any updates on the Accu-Check/Roche pump? I may be the only person in the US who's excited for this...but the 45-degree angle on the Omnipod is an issue for me.
Only a question... It seems that European regulators are putting several issues on "mobile bolus" features. If this remains, devices like tandem mobi or omnipod 5 cannot be used in Europe without a PDM. I have a tandem tslim:x2 and I cannot bolus from android phone. If I could, it would be much easier for example, use the pump in my arm. Furthernore, In my opinion, another device to carry, another device to charge, another device to pay attention to.
let's not forget the lawsuit by insulet (omnipod) to medtronic and eflow over the patch omnipod won the lawsuit so I am thinking they will go after tandem next or roche (accu check) with the solo pump the patch pump could get very hard to get into if omnipod has there way
I couldn't agree more. I found them so frustrating over the years. From poor customer service to really bad CGM to frustrating alarms. So glad I got onto tandem t-slim.
@@thorritz8520 True true true. Except for your comment on customer service. Whenever I called them up, which was frequent, they were the best customer service in the world. Obviously the customer service people were exact opposite of the people who designed their pump and CGMS. Super glad I got out of the 670 pump. Much better control with Tandem and Dexcom.
I really agree. But I was already an happy EOPatch user before Medtronic bought the rights to distribute the EOPatch for USA. I hate that I can't use the EOPATCH anymore.
Agreed. Of my only choice would be medtronic then I would go on MDI. Their products since they started have been junk for me and put me in more diabetes issues than I have ever in all my 49 years had. Love my Tandem pumps.
@@ForgedByDesign I used them back in the Minimed days and into Medtronic days. I had issues with both names that almost put me in the hospital. They are terrible on customer service, recalls like crazy and the pump is HUGE. I would do MDI before using their pump and ending up in the hospital. 32 years type .
Well... 2 years ago it was in the Pipeline... i have the 6 months in my arm ... and in 2022 there where Studies that Went good.. so i dont know how it is going now but i guess it will be out soon ? I just cant find more infos
I’m on the 780g g4 cgm closed loop and for me it’s been life changing

Thankful for the Omnipod 5. Would like more similar options, but we've been happy with the OP5.

From the photo it looks like there are some buttons on the pump, we do not know what they do. They likely provide some control

Nothing beats a patch pump
How do you think the pumps would be like in 6 years and what new features would we have?

Such a sad news i was very excited for this macht up.
Medtronic tibeless pump would be amazing

Hi type 1 for 40years never been on a pump but want to try closed loop. In the Netherlands any advice?
Medtronic can’t keep up with new tech and sensors that work. It’s sad because they were #1 10 years ago.
Have you been a user for a long time? Thank you for sharing your experience

Yes, €738 m lawsuit. This pump was already removed from sale in Germany
Hello, the only thing I want is to be as far away from medtronic products and as soon as I can. I couldn't care less about their new stuff.

I wanted to ask if there are Updates when the eversense 365 days cgm will be out ?
Now would be something amazing if happiness. Very very coll stuff but I would give it at least 10 years before seeying something like that

@@shahinmshWell..
No update on 365. I think they currently focusing on making 180 work for as many as possible. I see lots of PR and marketing for E3.
Medtronic is the least innovative now. Was the pump leader and now behind. Pumps like Omnipod 5 have most customers now.
I'm very disappointed that I can't use the EOPATCH anymore.. For me it was way better compared to the Omnipod.
Why not ? Are you Germany based? It was stopped there
@@Nerdabetic the Netherlands
I like medtronic, but they are always late.
Yeah I know some amazing people working there, i think they turning things around but it’s slower than many of us would have liked
You really hate Medtronic, huh? Tandem & Omnipod videos always get enthusiasm, and your Medtronic videos are always negative.
