My Review of the Tandem t:slim x2 Insulin Pump ◉ Subscribe: goo.gl/ZfjYfu
Choosing an insulin pump is an extremely personal choice, perhaps one of the biggest choices a Diabetic will make in his or her life. Since switching from the Medtronic 640g to the Tandem t:slim x2 , I’ve had a lot of questions about this process; how I came to choose it and what I like/dislike about it, so I thought it best to make a video about this very subject, with the hope that it will help others with their big decision. All diabetics have a unique and varied set of requirements depending on what they want and need out out their device, so I can’t stress enough how important it is to do your own research in finding the right pump for your needs. And I really hope this is a helpful resource in that quest!
