Opinions on Insulin Pumps

I have tandem tslim. I’m pretty happy with it especially with the control iq.

I've been on the omnipod since the beginning this year and the change has been so positive for me! It's my first insulin pump ever, I was diagnosed when I was 7 in 2001. I refused insulin pumps and CGMs for the longest time. I had this psychological block like if I had some device attached to me that I wouldn't be able to detach myself from my condition (which I was definitely guilty of trying to accomplish many times throughout my life.) Finally I just couldn't take it anymore - as an adult, the lethargy and nausea and weakness I felt on a daily basis from poor glucose control just took such a bigger bite out of me than it did when I was younger. I started dexcom at the end of 2020 (maybe a little later but that's when I finally decided to go for it). Then at the beginning of this year I opted for omnipod as it was tubeless and a coworker of mine has it and I was amazed to see how unimposing it was in size on her body. My only complaint is the obnoxious alarms on both the pump itself and from the device. I wish I could reliably silence it but the alarms have a mind of their own and sometimes I even have to destroy the pod after I take it off because it won't stop screaming (REALLY!!!!! LOUD.) Other than that I love that I can give myself boluses up to a hundredth of a unit and if I need to take an additional bolus to cover extra carbs eaten the device will adjust the bolus so the insulin I already have on board doesn't double up and make me low
