Insulin pump

Hello good,

I need them to help me with information with the following insulin pumps: Tandem, Medtronic and YpSOPump.

I wanted you to advise me and help me opt for one of them.

Thank you so much!

@Iua31 I have been since February with the YPSOPump (it is my first bomb), they offered it to me and accepted it, I could not choose;But I am very happy with her, I would not return to Bolis therapy.It is true that you have to be hooked 24/7 to a device but it has given me quality of life and compensates me.It is one of the smallest in the market and weighs about 80gr (with a stack and reservoir included), very intuitive and easy to handle touch screen, you can administer normal bolus, extended, combined, blind.For less than 1 month I have running with closed loop, so soon to value because the algorithm is "soaking" of my glycemic trends.I have it linked to the Dexcom G6 sensor (which I find more accurate than free 2), but it can also be linked to free 3. One of the most positive things I find is that when you see that you have a tendency to go down, it stops alone,It does not manage basal, which makes it easier to control the hypo.I hope I have helped you a little .... to see if you can tell you something from the rest ...

Hello!Are you going to put a closed loop?I carry YPSOPump although not of closed loop, although it seems that they are going very well, Cassie will tell us, but I am happy with that bomb.The Medtronic 780 with the Guardian TB seems to go very well.I would opt for one of those two.From the YpSOPump I like that it is very small and manageable and you have the cartridges already made.Anyone will give you a good result, they are already small details.

@IUA31, my experience in this issue is that there are no better or worse bombs, rather there are bombs that adapt better to you than others.For example, I have been using the Medtronic 780 bomb 2 months and I have left it a couple of weeks ago, it did not do with it.It is not just bowling-base therapy, it is also other aspects that can influence.But I know that many people are very happy with that same bomb, so I would not say that it is bad, it is rather that I did not adjust to me.I take your thread to ask if you know a hospital in Madrid that they put that of Ypsopump or that of Tandem.

What do we refer to with closed loop?

@IUA31 I carry a program installed on the mobile called Camaps FX that is connected to the sensor and the pump.Previously you have to complete a course to use it and in my case the specialist nurse, together with the YpSOPump commercial adjusted it with my ratios per time section, sensitivity factor, basal ....
How does "the closed loop" work?The sensor tells this program how much I am from glycemia, this program communicates with my pump and is injecting more or less insulin according to my needs, that is, I do not have a fixed basal.If there is a tendency to fall from my scheduled objective (in my case 110) the pump stops injecting insulin and if on the contrary the trend is upload or I have fallen short with a bolus at lunchtime, I am injecting meMore quantity.Try to stay at the target level without having to be aware all day.I hope I have explained ...

@Cassie: I am curious to know what range they put you, 70/180?What pull you with the bomb?

A question from deep ignorance ...
I read many people who say "give you more freedom."
How do you always carry it on top?To sleep, for exercise, aesthetic issue ...?
At the moment they are not going to put it on me, but I am overwhelmed to think about the device, the catheter ... apart from the free style.
It's a bit because you tell me your experience.More and more people take it and I obviously think that I am wrong 🤭
Isn't it easier to click on the moment ...?I don't know how it goes ... the bomb is supplying the basal and if you want to get fast you have to press the Botoncitos, right?
Insulins are better, right?But you really have to be aware, right?
Load bowling, the catheter is not doubled ...
Really forgive if I'm clumsy, but I'm super fish in this ...

@Ricki21 time in rank I modify it myself, I have put myself 80-150.In the program I have as target 110, it is the value in which you stop the pump if you see that my trend is down.
And as you can see my pull is not bad ... these are my values of the last 3 months.

@Silviagrz I think that everyone has to choose the therapy that best does ... for me as guy 1 to be all day "by clicking me" I had the morals ... I could do it sometimes up to 10 and 11 times to maintainMy glycemia at bay.Now I have the catheter that changed it every 3-4 days (just like the cartridge) and I forget;I am injecting basal dose every 3 minutes, depending on the value that I have of glucose, I do not notice anything, it does not hurt, it does not clarify ... the basal theme is more stable, now I do not have to put 13 or 14 you in winter, 10-11 in summer, adjusting every x days, since the bomb does it for me daily.I only put the bowling of the meals (in grams) that I am going to eat and he orders the bomb to inject me "X".If I stay a little, she is injecting more insulin to reduce the peak.If I have passed with the bolus, let me know and try to treat it before going to Hipo (that's why I have it in 80).
The YPSOPump carries a double infusor cable, precisely so that when it is doubled, it is not clogged.She is so tiny and weighs so little that you can put it anywhere.I personally have no cost to adapt to her.I do not hide it, I usually carry it with its case that wears a clamp at the waist of the pants, on the bra of the bra, on the bra, depending on the clothes that I put on ... sometimes in a pocket.To sleep I leave it in a little bark and how the cable is long, I turn to one side, for another and I don't even have to move it, I don't stretch me, I have not taken off from the body ... other times theI leave on the waist of the pajamas and not even find out.Anyway, Silvia, that you get used to .... just as having to go everywhere before bolis and mandangas .... :) ahhh something else important to comment, I have 2 hospital companions who carry it like me and theBomb has eliminated the alba effect, they rise in the range, when before or far!

Thank you for your experience !!I didn't know that I was injecting according to what I needed ... I mean decisions?
I have been penalized in the endocrine of the bombs ... and that they put them.Nor do I find many places where people give real opions ...
Thanks @Cassie really

It is not about the bomb, it is that it adapts to your lifestyle.To my ysopump a thousand problems (I speak of it).The first I had, on the other hand, and that is not on the list because they no longer give it, it was a blessing (for me).
Not only the pump, they are cannulas, they are a whole.For example, I have a lot of mess with the YSOP batteries;He does not accept anyone.I live in a small town and in the Super there are only 3 models.It takes a brand and not always.I go with a rechargeable, which seems to accept it well, but I think I shouldn't condition me so much.And since the app was updated, it no longer connects or reads anything.
I do sports, or an effort at work and I turn something and the canulas take off and some make me Moratón when they nail them (something that did not happen to me).It does not inject well when the battery is low (it gives an error, explained in another thread) ............... and solutions given so far .... zero.Next month I have to come back, I'm going to return it.It is not for me.
But it is my case, for my work, for my lifestyle.There is no good bomb, it is adapted to you.And I repeat, that she adapts to you and not you to her.The pump should not agree.If you do, it is not a good choice.It will be she who marks the rhythm of your life and therefore will lose freedom.Salu2

I know nothing more than the Medtronic, in Social Security they do not give you to choose.It works reasonably, it is a bit to go, but at my years, I don't care, I take it my pocket and end.The part of us say "biomechanics" is also acceptable, if you respect the times of change of the infusor.

Of course, Ponte Bomba is a much better treatment than with bolis and delayed insulin.Additionally, you can put a closed loop sensor, which greatly improves control.My endocrine thinks that the Medtronic System is currently the best;I see that it works very well, but it has its inconveniences (the sensor is old and spoils a lot), and I cannot compare with the other systems.

@Silviagrz yes I spent several months with a fixed basal scheduled in the pump and making decisions, it is important to know its operation very well in case something fails ... but for a scarce month it is already connected to the sensor and the climbs that sometimes sometimesI have, they are no longer as big as before, sometimes I am high and I look at it I see how it injected into all rag ... hahaha.So I would tell you to go ahead!At least try it and if it is not for you then you leave it ... but personally since I am with this happy disease my life has literally changed.And I have to say that the G6 is wonderful, compared to free 2, almost accurate measurements.:)

Hello!I have been with insulin pump (TSLIMX2 + GEXCOM) for 4 days.The truth is that I have not yet done to her.I think none of the values that adjust with my endocrine adapt to me.Before the bomb used and toujeo.When using this bomb I changed myself to Novorapid.I am having an average of 5/6 hypoglycemia per day.The bowling that I put for the main meals are well tight (I am weighing my meals).I understand that I have basal left but all this is overwhelming me ..

Jolin, how many drops.When I was doing sports, I could have 3/4 a day and ended up with juices, sugar and everything.

En 1922 descubrieron la insulina, en 1930 la insulina lenta. ¿Que c*** han hecho desde entonces?

@Mcrincon if it only takes 4 days, give him time ... have you put a closed loop without having used it manually?If you have a closed loop, the basal is not fixed, it can inject you more or sometimes less, depending on your values (if you use it manual then it is fixed).Look at the objective level that you have set you ... I started with 120 ... until the algorithm does not learn from you, it is preferable to get a little high so you don't have so many hypos and gradually go down.
You can also fix the alarm to 80 and so it gives you time to eat and trace without problems.

It is closed loop and objective level 110

Then it cannot be that they have passed with the basal, because as I have commented, there is only one base, in case the algorithm does not work.I would change the goal to 120, the first months, to avoid going to Hip, until the algorithm of your patterns is soaked ...
I imagine that all bombs have to work more or less the same when they go with algorithm.
