A little background, I am coming from Tandem Tslim 2 with Dexcom G7, A1C is 5.4 (avg bg around 110). I was noticing in the first few days of twiist that my average was closer to 135. This average is also likely higher in reality because I’ve noticed the Libre 3+ is about 20 points lower (I’m already looking into the Eversense).
I was trained on my twiist pump last Monday and wore it for 3 days before a mechanical failure on the pump which needed to be replaced. In those 3 days, I noticed a lot more prolonged highs after meals and simply not meeting the ”correction range.” I even noticed at times I would go in to add food and it would suggest 0 units for bolus.
What am I doing wrong here? The twiist rep suggested starting with one basal rate (much lower than my Tandem rates). I ended up just putting in my Tandem basal schedule because I felt pretty confident in it, but was running into the issues above. I have also lowered the Glucose Safety to the minimum and lowered the correction range.
Any help is appreciated! My partner and I are going to start TTC later this summer and I’m considering throwing in the towel and going back to my Tandem/G7 combo.
edit: “bolus schedule” -> “basal schedule”
