Thought I'd show some diabetic love lol. Definitely appreciate this channel. My endocrinologist just showed this to me.
WHAT!!?!? OMG is this real life??? If so, thank you so much! This is incredibly appreciated and thank you for the support. It helps me continue doing the work I am doing. You are amazing. I'm glad I can be of service :)
I would love to have this pump!! I'm suffering from burnout. I go through burnout every few years it seems. After, 43 years I guess that's to be expected. They've come so far in technology!!
I have been on this pump for about 2 wks, and I have nothing but good things to say. I wish it was tubeless, but for the control I have had with this, I am willing to accept it. Lol. I have had diabetes for 33 years, and I have never been in this much control. It took about 3 to 4 days to learn my body, but now I am 90% in range for the last 7 days! I can't wait to see what my a1c next trip to Dr.. I was last at a 7.2, I have been fighting cancer for 3 years and am finally in remission! I love this pump for the freedom it's given me during my recovery. ❤
33 years and you’re now in control with only 90% in range and the suboptimal A1C. I’m glad you’re doing better than not, but I do multiple daily injections and I have an A1C of 4.7 and I’m over 95% in range, 75-150 is what I have set for my range too. If you need help, Dr Bernstein and Dr Berg, you’ll get a lot of important info. I don’t see how this pump could help that much because of that strange bolus calculator. But there are true bionic pancreas systems that are significantly better optimized, yet I would say the only thing that should be attached is a cgm, but no pumps, only injections. That will give better control, and it forces you to have a better understanding. I literally have to do nothing in terms of thinking, I know exactly how much to give and I’m a strong believer in basal insulin like Lantus, and also NPH and regular are important because they behave like more natural insulin. So I use Lyumjev for food, Lantus for basal and Novolin N from Walmart for an extra edge while I sleep. If you have any fat, mounjaro is good for weight loss and GLP1 agonists are helpful for Type 1 despite the fact that you’ll almost never see that. But if you really get into the science, you’d see why.
I remember being 8 years old and being introduced to the Medtronic 510. That thing was such a hunk of garbage, but back then it was so advanced for the time. Now looking at these, it’s mind blowing.
Thanks for this video...just started wearing it today. Sounds so much easier than my in-pen. I'll have to keep watching to perfect it.
I’m 26 and have had diabetes since I was in 5th grade. First time I had a pump was the Medtronic’s that had 2 skin tags for the cites. Had for a few years and couldn’t never get my bolus rates right and had 3 seizures over the years from the pump giving to much on bolus rates, it always happened in the morning, got away from pumps after that have been on pens ever since. I have huge trust issues with pumps because of what happened when I was younger but my endocrinologist has been pushing this on me for the last few months. Would like to see someone with a 3month or more review of it , this thing looks cool and I want to learn more about it
2:50 yes you could do that on the Omni pod five
Really exciting!
I’m using the 780g and that’s great!
I think that the algorithm without carb count is the natural step forward. The only thing I don’t like is the infusion set that I think is a step behind than the Minimed Advance or the Minimed Extended.
5.45pm eastern time I'm in the process of switching from the omnipod 5 to the Ilet bionic pump. Waiting to hear from them any day. Extremely excited @@
I start my training in a few hours! Coming from a Tslim. Can't wait to see how well this does!
I would like an update on your experience! :)
Yea let us know how it goes!!
Mine just came in the mail , I'm nervous about using a pump could you share your experience please?
I am on day 3. So far it is learning me and BG is set at 120 when asleep and averaging 100 for me. It is learning how much I eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and gives me insulin depending on my cgm reading. So far its good.
I’m 3 months in now and I gotta say I’m fairly impressed. Only thing it needs imo is a larger reservoir, but aside from that I love it. I think about diabetes quite a bit less than i used to. There’s been a few times that I forget to bolus due to how much less I think about diabetes.
I’ve been T1D for over 69 yrs. I’ve used the Medtronic pumps and am now on the Tandem t:Slim with the IQ technology. But this doesn’t work for me so I make my own basal rate adjustments. This is my primary concern regarding the iLet Bionic. My warranty just expired and my doc has suggested I consider the iLet Bionic, but I’m just sure. My A1c runs between 5.7 to 6.3. So getting it lower is not a concern. B😮t I’m burnt out dealing with the diabetes.
My endocrinologist mentioned this pump to me today im hoping to get put a pump in the future this sounds like it might be perfect for me
My 10 year old grandson just applied to get this pump. I didn't even know about the future of glucagon being introduced. Thats wild. It exciting that he gets to try the latest thing available.. I mean you know this disease is such bs. Im trying to see the positives where I can..
I would like to try it, yes I will miss tubeless but willing to try . Ty for the in put
I don’t like tubes. But I don’t know if I want to try it neither. I think I’ll just go and wait a bit more. I love my O5 though. 😊
Awesome I just got one and am about to start mine up for the first time in 30 minutes 🥳
Mine is being delivered tomorrow. Using the Omni pod 5 . Can’t wait to try it out!
Woohoo! Good luck :)
You can achieve pretty much the same with a tandem and there is all kinds of infusion sets ready.
The really interesting thing is the dualality when it works.
The smart approach reminds me of the yso and it's pretty clever thinking.
The pump learns your patterns and by doing that will be able to auto bolus.
There are more than just the two infusion set options since this one uses the old standard Lueur Lock infusion sets instead of proprietary tubing attachments like Medtronic and Tandem switched to..
The two infusion sets mentioned are the same exact infusion sets I used with my Animas insulin pump from 2003 to 2010 with the only difference in infusion set name being that the Inset used to be called the "Animas Inset" infusion set, but when Animas quit making their pumps, the Inset infusion sets remained in production with the only difference being the removal of the "Animas" from the infusion set name.
But using the old standard Lueur Lock connectors means that if the infusion set you're considering has the Lueur Lock tubing connector then it will work with this pump, and before Tandem switched to their proprietary tubing connectors, I had more than a dozen different infusion sets I could choose to use with my Tandem pump and their switch to the tLock tubing connector dropped the infusion set options for the Tandem pump from around a dozen to now, I think maybe 3 or 4.
I will not be switching to a tube, I feel the Omnipod is simpler. There are way to many features on this pump. All I do is type in my carbs on my Omnipod and push go and also all I have to do is push "use sensor " to put in the bloodsugar reading, so technically I don't have to enter in my bg. I'm not seeing this as something to run to 🤷🏾♀️
Very interesting! I generally hate carb counting - but I do tend to have multiple smaller meals throughout the day instead of breakfast lunch and dinner so I wonder how peoples different eating habits would work with this!
Yea I wonder that too! It learns about the user and gets smarter and smarter...
hate carb counting, huh? I mean it's literally the least offensive thing to do regarding T1, you just count what you're eating and enter it...I'm confussed?
@@christopherone1 …. Idk, I have no issues changing my pump/Dexcom, dealing with needles, all of the “medical” type things of diabetes but I just get annoyed having to count everything I eat. I have struggled with disordered eating so it also doesn’t help mentally. I also make a lot of my own food and rarely eat out / eat packaged foods so a lot of the time it’s either a lot of work or just plain guessing about how much carbs/proteins/fats are in things. I know a lot of diabetes who also don’t like carb counting and prefer to just guesstimate and correct later so I don’t think it’s that bizarre. 🤷🏻♀️ different people struggle with different parts of the disease.
@@christopherone1 are you diabetic?
@@_tetris223right
Unfortunately, this will not be released in Canada for at least another 3 years, but I am looking forward to trying this pump out as it too works directly with the Dexcom sensor. I have previously tried Medtronic which was not for me due to their Guardian Sensors which were a nightmare. I have been with Medtronic for over 20 yrs and would still be with them if they worked with Dexcom which has worked flawless with me for over two years now. I am now on the Tandem T-Slim and it is working great. I will not try an Omnipod as it is too bulky and with my active lifestyle, I would be too worried about knocking it off my body.
Having used Omnipods for about 4 years I can say that they do get ripped off from time to time but almost always by doorframe and not from being active and no more than normal infusion sets get ripped off by door knobs. The lack of a tube and pump make it easier to be active in my experience. If I'm ever doing anything I thing might tear it off I just put it on my arm and place a sports band over it.
I gave their demo pod a whirl last weekend and put it through a stress test of sorts to assess how easily it would come off my arm. It passed my test 👌 Thought it wouldn't tbh.. I came to the same conclusion as the other replier to your comment.. which is door frames will be the biggest enemy of it staying in place lol. But even then, I think it's got more of a robust adhesive situation than cgms have. Pods such as these are where I see the industry heading over time.
I’ve been on omnipod 5 for a year and diabetic for 31. Its the only pump i have ever used, so the cartridge, infusion sets, and tubing all confuse and, tp be honest, intimidate me a bit. Other than that, this sounds amazing on paper. How much insulin does it hold and how often do you change it? How do you take it off to shower or charge?
super helpful video. I think this will be an absolute game changer for a relative who has very longstanding t1d and also early onset dementia. Managing his diabetes for him, even with tandem CIQ, has been incredibly challenging, and the pump is too complicated for him to operate and requires more dexterity and vision than he has. We cannot get started on it soon enough.
I also have t1d and and have been following Beta Bionics for many years (I even have a T shirt) and am especially interested in the dual hormone system. But this still seems like a great step forward. My main concern switching over would be how it handles exercise. I guess you would set the target to "higher than normal" but that setting (if you compare it to "exercise mode" on Tandem) is generally not enough--on Tandem, I also have to create a new exercise profile. I would be very interested in seeing what research they have done on the pump performance during exercise. Depending on the intensity and duration, I can swing very high or tend to swing low, without paying careful attention and learning how to properly adjust my settings.
so when will it be available and will Medicare cover it? I think this could also be incredibly helpful for people who are just really tired of managing diabetes and may otherwise give up. Also, I am a BU biomedical engineering grad so Go BU!
@@sfrunnergirl
Medicare is covering it, it comes under DME Diabetic Management Equipment.
How many units of insulin does it hold?
My son tried the 670g by Medtronic. It was so horrible. The algorithms constantly were wrong and messing things up far more than correct. A1c went up by a lot trying to work with that pump. Had to stop. The current pump is Tandem and they break a lot and the replacements are formerly broken pumps that have been "repaired" and soon break again. It is hard to believe that this pump could take complete control, develop algorithms and get it right and on so little info about food. But oh do I hope I am wrong and that it can do all that we need to give type 1 people their lives back by accurately controlling their blood sugar. I am pulling for them.
Medtronic sucks thier cash sucks I have the tandem 2x control iq and it works great for me. I’m pretty rough on my pump too and it seems to be fine! I started on animas and I loved the animas but unfortunately they are only in the uk now! Only prob I see with this pump is your phone? I have iPhone and the boo tooth connection isn’t great but sounds good exciting
I had the t-slim insulin pump, I loved it and thinking about trying this one out.
Had tandem over 7 years had an issue with the first pump and never any more issues and they worked super quick to replace the defective pump. This pump seems cool but I'll stick by tandem
I used the t-slim and on the fifth day my sugar was super out of control. I went back to my regimen of injecting myself and I am back in control. I thought about the omnipod 5 but since it can't communicate with the dexcom g7 which I love and has helped me immensely, it's not an option for now either. If omnipod manages to make it compatible with the deccom g7 I may consider going back to a pump. Now as for this ilet, It impresses the fact that you don't have to count carbs etc, but I would wait for more data to try it. Thanks for such a good video. Blessings
Omnipod will be compatible with G7 this fall! And they have already started in June for new users. I'm excited and signed up for the newsletter they told to sign up for. I hope all is well and if your still wanting to get back on Omnipod, I wanted to let you know! Take care and I hope this helps.
ok hhmm Yes i would be interested... I am on 780G and i like the idea that we on Medtronic could have tubeless pump soon...so this would make me not ewant to change I like medtronic for a list of their pros and cons compared to the other current pumps...and I do believe if one pump has the capability of no carb counting I believe then that soon all pumps will also have that feature sooner or later. But I am not really like the idea of having to infusion sites one for insulin and one for glucogone ...
My endo just put me on a Tandem pump and I have my training next week. Kinda wish this was further along in availability as I think I would have gone with this over the Tandem.
You’ll love the tandem. I switched from Medtronic. Game changer, just trust control IQ. I didn’t for about a week. But it’s pretty cool and controls really well.
Same! Have you started your Tandem yet? I haven’t been able to do the training yet bc I e been sick off and on for a bit now.
I would think you would have to estimate carbs somewhat or how else would you know if a meal is larger, the normal size or smaller?
Saw the CEO talk about this at college a few years back. Both insulin and glucagon in the same device is exciting but having two infusion sets attached is not. Love the the simplicity though.
Just got mine in the mail. Excited to start this process!!
How good is it compared to Omnipod 5? How much % target in range you get?
I have been on the tslim and g6 for years. I still haven't reached my A1C goal and so tired of spending so much time making decisions and often forget to "make decisions". It appears they are gradually doing away with the g6 so switching to g7. I just saw info on the iLet while researching the g7 and wish I hadn't ordered a new tslim as mine is out of warranty. Still haven't opened the box though so maybe I can return it. Sending a message to my endo to see if she will prescribe the iLet. Fingers crossed!
Awesome info! T2D’s running out of control using meds; iLet bionic pancreas seems very interesting.
Your amazing! Thanks for the video. It’s just what I was looking for
Aww yay! Thanks for watching
This sounds great and seems to let you live your life by automating various pump functions. Still, I hope to find a reasonable explanation why Beta Bionic chose a 1.8mL cartridge (and the addition weekly maintenance it seems to require) over a 3mL reservoir. While a slim device is nice, why should that be preferable over a longer use time between refills? Then again, I'm letting this limiting design choice outweigh it's automated functionality. Or am I missing something?
Can you make a short about attaching the pants clip to your I let pump? I've been searching everywhere to try to figure out how to attatch the pants clip. I cant find it in the users guide anywhere.
I'm interested in trying to inject the infusion set. I tried out the Mio that Tandem had back in 2015, and tried a number of them, and I had a terrible time trying to put them in.
I have used the Medtronic quick set since year 2005, and have not had any problem putting them in with the auto serter.
I am curious if Medtronic might have perhaps a quick set that would have what may be a luer lock that would work with this.
Like the concept and the future w glucagon. initially, im concerned about charging it. I have the tslim now,plug in at night,sleep w a long cord and not a problem OR charge in car while driving...
Not sure i could do that w this pump
While they don't/can't condone it because of the FDA - I found that my iPhone Qi charger (and this is the same tech for all wireless chargers) worked fine. So if you have one in the car...
Which Qi charger do you use for your iPhone? (I know they don't condone).. Was it magsafe or something else?
I’d have a hard time to adjust to a pump with a tube. It would mean I needed a pocket or something during the day and 🤷🏻♂️at night. I love the features that are available. I hope Omnipod will be similar for Dexcom G7
I used tubed pumps for years. It was definitely annoying at times, but overall I managed to figure things out. Never had an issue at night and it can usually be easily clipped somewhere. BUT I use Omnipod now and being tubeless is so much nicer. I don't think I could ever go back to using a tubed pump. Omnipod is more comfortable, way more convenient, and especially better in the summer months when at the pool. I use Omnipod with DIY Loop and it's fantastic.
Hello. I am switching to this pump next week. I currently have the Omnipod 5. It’s ok, but the algorithm is not working for me. I am excited about this pump. Yes the tubeless Omnipod is nice but it’s just not working for me. But if this pump will improve my diabetes control, I’m all for it.
When do you let it know when you are eating? Whats the lead time? Can you just put in "larger then normal meal" and immediately start eating? Or do you put it in after you ate?
I would probably stay with the tubeless system, carb counting is the least of my worries.
I would think that you prebolus for as long as you do on a different pump or on MDIs?
You just give it a general meal size. It watches you’re bg and adjusts based on expected carb load. It doesn’t have to be in advance. Just when you’re eating.
I am begging this company to make an update which allows you to suspend insulin without removing the pump
I'm on the omnipod and I wouldn't go on this since I'm in the construction field and it would not be a time for me to charge this and Secondly tuning would be in the way.
honestly until i see a real life test review it seems too good to be true atm
like what about high carb high fats high protein food like pizza how is it gonna know to extend the bolus? has ilet revealed hows its even possible to not count the carbs or type of carbs without running into problems? especially without the glucagon option available.
They conducted a bunch of studies through the FDA which is how it got cleared - I get into these in my Beta Bionics FDA clearance announcement video - check it out "Beta Bionics iLet Pump - No More Carb Counting"
The islet blouses 50% of the meal upfront then slowly releases the remainder. My 12 yr old son is an athlete and eats high carb, high fat food and he doesn’t have post meal spikes. It keeps his blood sugars pretty consistent, in fact, his A1c went from a 9.2 on the tslim to 7.1 after 2 months on the islet and that’s with 1% lows (so his A1c wasn’t at the cost of a lot of lows) plus growth hormones and prepuberty hormones which causes insulin resistance
@@babymovies5289 nice glad to hear a real life user experience!
I'm a terrible carb guesser so this would be great for me.
I have just got authorization
Can you use the different set applications for under the skin
So fabulous with the absolute exception of tubing and having to fill the tubing. Also its sounds like the tubing is pretty long?
I have lispro insulin does it work and I use to have Humalog insulin but my insurance didn’t cover it anymore.. and so no carb counting.. and when it comes to more , less , usual for me how do u do it 😊
can you completely shut off the alerts? Including the vibrations? Man I am dead sick of the vibrations. Now when my BGL is low and i have my pump off for some reason i get phantom vibrations in my leg where the pump usually sits.
Oh I used to get those when I had my phone on vibrate! I dont think they can be turned off..
I wish I saw this sooner I’m
Always battling with lows and my bs bc of different health reasons. Was prescribed the TSlim back in September but haven’t started it. Currently on the Medtronic. What comparison would you say the TSlim and the ilet have?
This all sounds wonderful, but why are there no ( literally none that I can find) user reviews of this product since the fda approved it? All of the closed loop insulin pump manufacturers promise perfection, but they all have their drawbacks. Why is no one who is actually using it speaking up (positive or negative) about this new pump? I am currently using the Omnipod 5 with the DEXCOM 6g. It is a good system and I absolutely love the no tubes, but I still have to give manual correction blouses on a regular basis. I am considering switching to the iLet system, but need feedback from others who are using it before making the leap.
My 12 yr old has been on it since August and we love it. He was on a tslim and his A1c averaged a 9. Two months of being on the islet and his A1c was a 7.1 and that’s with puberty and growth hormones and eating like a 12 yr old boy. He only goes low 1% of the time too and the app automatically sends his data to his pediatric endocrinologist so his visit was super fast as there’s nothing to adjust. Also, lows are treated with just 10 carbs and he’s good. He had the flu recently and was sick for 4 days but the islet kept his blood sugars in range (the highest he ran was like 240 for an afternoon) and he didn’t go low despite barely eating. Although I’m not liking the small insulin cartridge (200 units), changing it is much faster than the tslim. You can stop filling the tubing the second you see a drop unlike the tslim where there’s a 10 unit minimum. His school nurse has a teen on the omnipod and she raves about how much she loves this iset. They are going to integrate the libre and it’s already integrated with the g7
This looks promising other than the long protruding knob coming out of the insulin cartridge. Not practical at all when placed on your belt. Looking forward to seeing the next version.
The charger is the deal breaker for me. Not everyone works in an office all day. Some of us have to literally charge our pumps on power banks in the middle of the desert. Not going to haul around the stupid base and special cable every where I go. What's so hard hard about a USB-C? The micro USB portion alone is a deal breaker. I can't tell you how many times I've had to stop at a gas station or truck stop to buy a micro-usb cable for the T-Slim. I had to search to find this info out because my doctor didn't know how it charged and the nicely pictured, several paged brochure didn't address it either. If I were ILet, I'd go back to your engineers and tell them to talk to real people. Probably millions of dollars in research and in my opinion fails the most basic need.
Thanks for sharing this and I hope they all take your feedback! USB-C is the future, or the reality right now. I’m sure having ports on board the device makes waterproof difficult, but phones do it!
It takes 15 minutes to charge , you just put it on the charger when you disconnect to shower , the battery has like a 4 day life. I just received mine and got my training for it three days ago yeah is it a little inconvenient but it's super fast charging and like I said just charge it every time you go to take a shower and it will never die.
@@gilliantess7157 So when I'm in the desert, carrying around my base and charger. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for a shower. But what's really crazy, and hear me out, it would be way easier if they just put a usc-c port on it. I can charge my drone, go pro, phone, headlamp, walkies all on the same cable with a battery bank.
@@ericlichtenberg8137do you live in the desert?? I mean we get it, it's *slightly* less convenient but you act like you won't see an outlet for weeks at a time 😂
@@Nycgoomba I am a videographer who works in remote and isolated areas for upto a week at a time. I can charge four v-mount batteries and use the USB ports on them to power everything I need. Maybe I'd have room in the backpack for a stupid dock too. Several grand for a pump they could be a little more universal in their design. Just out of curiosity what backup plan would a person have if there was ever a disaster in their area, hurricane, earthquake, fire evacuation? If your lucky you will have a shelter like a refugee center you could go to. Just be sure to grab your dock on the way out the door.
I listened to an interview about the iLet somewhere else recently and to me, it sounds as if it's made for people who either don't want to or don't know how to manage diabetes. In the other intervew he said that going up to 250-300 after a meal is normal and the algorithm will handle it and bring you back down. For me, that is NOT normal. I also wonder about using weight as the starting point. I am a middle aged overweight female but I am very sensitive to insulin. I eat moderate carb (125-150g a day) and use 22-24 units in my Tandem on a typical day. Will this pump see my weight and start overdosing me?
He also said that for the clinical trials they sought out people with higher A1cs and not great control. So yeah, of course you'll see improvement but does going from an A1c of 11 to 9 mean this pump is a success?
My diabetes P.A. said that people who get good control with their other brand of pump will have better control than switching to this new ilet pump. Like you said, I think and my P.A. agrees that it is probably for people without good control.
I’ve seen several interviews on the iLet and they said something completely different. First, there were many trials and they selected a whole range of different types of diabetics from age ranges to good, moderate, and poor control. Not all poor control subjects. They said the after meal spikes only happen the first few days as the system is learning what you consider a normal meal and how that affects your BG. It’s checking your BG every 5 minutes and making constant adjustments based on those readings. No the pump won’t see your weight and overdose you. The weight is used as your basal starting point, but even that will self adjust, but it will also pause or suspend if you are going low automatically.
You have no idea what you're talking about
Hi Justin- that infusion set looks exactly like the XC pump I use with Tandem. Are they compatible? I have ordered my Ilet. Hope to have it soon to see if I am capable of letting go of control.
I just got approved! does it come with a case?
Does this pump only work with a Dexcom? I use the Libre 3. Is the iLet Bionic covered under Medicare? Thanks.
How are you supposed to charge it if it has to be connected to your body?
you can disconnect and charge while showering. It gets 1% per minute, so you can do that every day. It gets 4-5 days of battery life on a full charge depending on use.
I’ve had a hard time getting prescriber information. My provider doesn’t know much about this. Any ideas?
How many units does it hold? Is it a luer lock so could you use any luer lock infusion set? If its inset its only 3 days still? I love the idea but i think id stay with tandem til this gets released in canada... probably wont see it for another 5 years in canada. Curious why the screen is bit outdated (nokia screen black and white) can the screen be made more visible. I found it hard to read or see on the video. Glad newer and different pumps are coming out!
I believe it holds about 150-160 units Screen is designed that way for simplicity and it is SUPER easy to read in bright light, glare doesn't effect it.
200 units
Will this work with a freestyle Libra? 3 sensor and the Eye let a blood, please let me know.
I like to bring this up to my diabetes specialist about it.
I switched from the t:slim X2 to Omnipod almost a year ago to escape tubing. It has been more freeing than I expected so it would be tough to go back. I like what they're trying to achieve but due to tubing and it being a first-generation product I'll pass for now.
Подскажите,продажи в России планируются и какая будет цена?
How long is the tubing? My mother recently went into dka and spent a few weeks in the hospital. She was told she qualifies for a cgm and was recommended to get an insulin pump. She wants Dexcom g7 so needs a compatible pump, if she chooses to get one. I'm trying to figure out the best option for a pump for her that is super easy to use. She can barely figure out how to turn her cell phone on and off & doesn't keep track of carbs. She's currently doing finger prick testing and using Novelin 70/30 insulin. Where does the part that attaches to flesh go? And are there any holsters so she can safely sleep with one on and not have to worry about having to hike her nightgown up to have the tubing run-- would hse have it run out the top of her shirt? It looks a bit on the large size. Wish it was simply a small pump & that she didn't need the interface thingy & could just use the dexcom app.
Is there a better user friendly pump that will automatically dispense insulin based on her sugar levels from the dexcom? I don't want her to make a mistake and fumble finger her way in to dosing herself with insulin unintentionally-- as an aside, whenever I use gps on my phone while driving somewhere, she picks up the phone to look and ALWAYS screws something up so I have to pull over and reset so I can use the gps. She doesn't know how to leave stuff alone. LOL.
I am switching from Omni Pod to this tomorrow!!!
How good is it compared to Omnipod 5? How much % target in range you get?
Exciting pump. Not yet Medicare approved and no pricing yet (I spoke with them on 6/1). I do wonder what if you needed/wanted a snack - how do you dose for that?
It is Now approved!!! Call back.
how much does it weight and what are dimensions
Why the hell do they still use insulin deliver tubbing? That so has been. Not for me if they continue with the stupid stubbing.
So how do you bath , do gymnastics gym and sleep with this thing attached to you???sepsis?
I'm completely confused by this video.
I heard Ed Damiano speak about this at the TCOYD conference in San Diego maybe fifteen years ago.
The whole point of the iLet is (or was) that it is a fully closed loop run by a learning algorithm that only requires your weight. Everything from basal to bolus is supposed to be completely automated.
So why feature all the menus and, especially, the carb counting feature? None of this speaks to the real point of this system which is that it is supposed to essentially remove the burden of blood sugar management from the diabetic. Otherwise, it looks not much different from a tslim x2 with an uglier screen.
Is it really as hands off as it was originally advertised or has this changed? And when is the dual chamber glucagon model expected to release? This was all part of the original vision for the iLet (again, according to chief engineer Ed Damiano)
All you enter is a meal announcement. That’s all you have to do. You put your weight in when you start or if it changes more than 15%.
I JUST STARTED THIS PUMP🤗🤗🤗🤗
yay!!
And how has it been for your 2 months?
What's the sign in the intro that was showing your BG? how do you set it up to display
It's called Sugar Pixel - use link in the description (helps me out). Super easy to set up!! :)
Hi mate, looks awesome for me having diabetes for 50 years I’m getting older and I just don’t really want to have to friggin do this any more and a pump like this would be a life changer for me. As for you, it is quite clear you love staying on top of it and interacting with technology to get your perfect numbers. Will be on my opinion you’re too controlling for this pump and you like controlling your own. That’s what I got out of watching your CZcams videos on it. 😊
hahahah you're not wrong! ;P
I have been trying to get a pump Tandem pump tells me my c peptide and glucose is to high they denied me
I take 6 shots a day I need this.
Makes no sense to me. Has your doctor ordered the pump for you?
@@anitastokar98 yes my endocrinologist did
Pretty similar to the tslim
My 15 year old son would manual bolus before he ever gets a pump with tubes. He wouldn't even consider it 😢
Tell me more about the meals????
i'm on omnipod n i want to go back to tubing
I'm just waiting on my insurance!
It is good, but waiting for cure. And another problem is how much it will cost? Because, T1D isn't rich countries desaes. Is there any global charity organisation which will be provide insulin Pump free of fee for children? And it's consumables also.
You will never see a cure it's not possible its an auto immune disease learn about the disease before saying something foolish
Cool
I think the Tandem 2 with the Dexcom G6 are BASICALLY the same except the WEIGHT CATEGORY. That may have some consideration . . . but, 6 of one half dozen of the other. The fewer the gadgets to play with is the whole goal. Calling it a BIO -PANCREAS, is reaching. I wear the Dexcom G6, I see no big difference.Your enthusiasm is very convincing.
I switched from TSlim to omnipod and will NEVER go back to a pump with a tube attached. It’s way too constricting being attached to something and the insertion sites are always problematic over time. This may be a great machine but they shot themselves in the foot by not making it tubeless. Omnipod is years ahead of this technology.

Be careful and choose wisely on if your going with this pump. It does not have insulin to carb ratios or basal rates or sensitivity factors programsed into the pump there is no way to do that. IT only goes by your body weight. IF your on a sensor and the sensor fails the pump will not be able to read what your sugars are doing and will not be able to correct your BG accordingly. After 72 hours the pump will automatically stop working until you get another sensor. BY that time you could go into a severe hyperglycemia and you could go into a seizure and you could die. Your sugars will continue to climb and you will be in the hospital with extrememly high sugars and go into a coma and die. IS IT WORTH IT THAT IS FOR YOU TO DECIDE. UNTIL THEY FIX THAT OPTION TO HAVE SENSITIVITY FACTORS, CARB RATIOS AND BASAL RATES SET I AM NOT GOING WITH THIS PUMP. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. THEY DON'T TELL YOU THAT. DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST.
You just have to do a finger stick and calibrate it, it’s really not a problem. The device continues to use what it knows about you to keep your sugars consistent. My 12 yr old son has been on the islet for 6 months and we’ve never seen what you said happen
@@babymovies5289 same here. Six months in and I have not had any issues. If I have a failed sensor, my blood sugars will climb a little bit, but never anything crazy that I can’t get back under control pretty quickly. A simple fingerstick after it fails is all that it takes to know what your sugar is. This pump is great if you’re experiencing burnout, you don’t have to adjust any settings ratios sensitivity factors or even carb count. You simply tell if you’re eating breakfast lunch or dinner that’s it. My diabetes management has been such a breeze since starting the iLet. I think about it so much less that I often forget to bolus until after I’ve eaten.
Hello... can you tell me how much this pump costs?
Thank you.
A sales rep said $3500/without insurance.
