Only 4 years and 8 months left
I had previously been on a Medtronic pump when I first went on the pumps. The one good thing about Medtronic is they are fantastic with their warranty. They replace the clips and replace the sensors when they go defective. Sadly, that happens a lot.
After five years of Medtronic, I went on Tandem with their Dexcom system. After five years, I felt Dexcom had a lot of pressure to replace the pump, and I had heard Medtronic algorithms were better. They are. But it really isn’t worth it.
Prior to committing to Medtronic I asked why there were so many low ratings for this app. I was told only negative people reply and leave review reviews. I guess I’m a negative person.
Imagine driving down the road and wanting an apple, and your wife, grabbing your phone, and unlocking it because she’s your wife, and entering 8 g of carbohydrates for the apple you were eating and hitting enter, with the phone, allowing you to enter the bonus. That is Tandem’s system.
Now imagine entering the CGM once every 10 days, then getting 12 hours of grace on top of that. Then imagine Medtronic trying to raise the bar by offering their new systems, at least the newest one approved after the guardian 4 which has only seven days of usage and no grace, but Medtronic thinking that the new system would be better if it had six days of usage plus one day of grace. Who are they kidding? And 2.5 hour warm up plus charge time vs 30 min?
Dexcom is a superior CGM, and I would rather my A1c goes up .1 than to deal with the size and absolute joke of an app.
Another true story, the Medtronic sales rep said the reason they don’t go for 10 days is because the CGM loses accuracy after six … that is false.
I also hated ordering Tandem supplies from one supplier, but now that I am on Medtronic I can also only order from one supplier for my CGM.
100% not worth the trade.

Bad app
Since last update nothing is working with this app and the app on the watch.

Doesn’t stay connected
Recent update doesn’t stay connected older iPhone with version 18.7.10. Honest neither did early versions but this update disconnects every 5 minutes and tries to reconnect. Backward compatibility needs to be considered here. Please have a look.
