i-port advance reviews?

Im stuck in a really tight space regarding gaining more weight w/ my MDI routine rn.

I heard about this i-port thingy? Its sort of the middle ground for MDI and pump users. Has anyone had any experiences with this that could chime in?

Im uninsured (financial choice) and pumps are off the table for me as per personal reasons. But my body is crying out for another option given ive had T1 for 22 years now💔 ive gotten everything else secured down, its just now i cant ignore my body with all this damaged tissue crap (im also barely 135lbs at 5’4”. Im gaining more weight the past 2 years 🎉 but eating consistently can get really hard most days)

I appreciate any input or support regarding this! :) thank u

*edit: forgot to add, one main reason i cant do a pump/most pump systems rn is 1) money 2) im on a strict mandatory hiatus from CGMs. Too much deep tissue damage- i was killing sensors hours within application so… im on month 5 but i still need longer. ik not all systems need a CGM but im sure that limits it even if i was able to be on one..*
