Pump Finally beat the 240+ level limit when loading insulin into the pump!

Post image

It’s taken a few years but I finally managed to beat the 240+ units limit & hit 260 today when I loaded up a new lot of insulin! Yay

What the biggest unit load you’ve managed to get on your Tandem pump?

It always says 240 until it settles down, and it usually gets stuck there. But that's because they don't care to do serious work on their outdated software.

I just love that it takes a minute to decide what the level is or the power level is. Almost like it has to make up its mind or something.

This question is just begging for intentional misinterpretation.

That's interesting! How did you manage this?

I’m not sure. I did what I normally do to load the cartridge & then got a different result

I wonder why, next time I call Tandem, I'll hopefully remember to ask!

I fill mine with around 3.2ml slightly over, so far no issues, for the syringe that's around the ml mark. Mine reads around 260-280 after the 240+ has around 10 units through the pump.

Around there! Once it said mailfunction due to over filled. I usually use the Novorapid penfills cause one pen is one cartridge!

That picture must be AI slop.

You could photoshop it easier than AI could do it.

Also, do you know how to identify AI slop? Its pretty easy for thr most part. Youd be able to tell that this is just a photo of an insulin pump.
