@tgeisenheimer@TandemDiabetes@myomnipod@TandemDiabetes while we have been telling everyone to switch because of your amazing algorithm,we are now ready to drop you and warn everyone. Your algorithm is useless without a reliable supply of infusion sets. Thanks for adding to the load of families already overstretched.
My son has T1D and we recently switched from @myomnipod 5 to @TandemDiabetes Mobi. We are experiencing nonstop issues getting supplies from Tandem. My wife has spent hours on the phone with Tandem reps and the Autosoft 30 which we rely on is backordered and unavailable.
Compared to Omnipod where we never had issues this is pretty shocking. We're now faced with switching back to the Omnipod after countless hours of trainings and work to get up-to-speed on the new technology not to mention the disruption and disappointment our son will feel.
Terrible way to run a business that makes medical devices used by children.
People don't realize what #Ravens All-Pro TE Mark Andrews goes through during games. Andrews has Type-1 diabetes and has to check his blood sugar whenever he gets off the field.
While off the field, he wears a continuous glucose monitor. Watch this video:
"Every time I come off the field."
"For real?!"
"When my blood sugar is a little higher I gotta give insulin to bring it down."
"When it's lower I take some sugar.. like some Gatorade or something like that."
One year ago today my (now 4 year old) son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
I haven't shared much about this publicly, but people close to me know how challenging it was.
Now that we're living it everyday, I wish more people knew about type 1 so here's a quick overview.

How has impact investing developed since its conception?

Thank you to all the women who have paved the way in history. Today, we celebrate their struggles and triumphs.
And thank you to Elena del Rivero for her public artwork, “Home Address,” now installed in the City Hall rotunda!
@TSA Trust me, he would love to. But he has type 1 diabtes and cannot because the scanners will disable life sustaining medical devices he wears. He later told us he was sad about the way they treated him. He is 3.
@TSA We have signed up for this several times and it has never worked. It would also help if you train your staff to handle these situations with more care. Today the agent at JFK/Jet Blue kept shouting that my 3 year old did not "want" to go through the scanners.
