Tandem order arrived. My diabetes supply drawer is getting a bit full.
Might skip my next scheduled Tandem order.

I love that CIQ+ allows me to temp basal now.
I feel like using temp basal is better for a correction when BG isn’t excessively high. CIQ wills till adjust as needed so a bit safer than just taking a straight bolus. It’s a bit slower though.
If my BG is high, though, a correction bolus is still better.
But it’s good to have more control over this.
It looks like as of Sunday, the initial work to get the Tandem Mobi working with AAPS is done and going into testing. As of now, it'll only do basic oref0 (TBR).
They're kicking up private testing for now so it's not widely available yet.
Congrats to jwoglom and AndyRozman on Discord for their hard work! It's great to see progress!
I did a small experiment this morning.
Since I can now set temporary basal rates with CIQ, when I woke up, before getting out of bed (I often just lay for a bit), I set a 150% basal rate for half an hour. I was above target anyway.
It seems to have blunted my typical FOTF!
I suspect this is how my body would prepare for a cortisol spike, normally.
So Control-IQ+ has 2 main changes that, not only is discussed in press releases, but is part of the update training.
First, the ability to set a temporary basal rate while CIQ is enabled. Previously, this required turning off CIQ.
Second, the ability to do an extended bolus up to 8 hours instead of just 2 hours.
But there were also notes of nebulous “algorithm adjustments" with no details. I think I've run into it being a bit more aggressive to basal rates in response to BG climbing. My BG tends to climb many hours after having some wine (alcohol effect on liver, etc), usually while I'm sleeping, and sleep mode doesn't allow automated correction bolus, so only allows basal rate adjustments. I noticed in the visualization that basal rates looked more aggressive and the high BG didn't last nearly as long as it had in the past.
Mobi wasn’t getting CGM updates and I had no indication prior to the update nor after that anything would have to be done about this.
So… to you Mobi users out there… You might have to reconnect your CGM. It’ll start off indicating it’s doing a warmup again, but the next update interval should show all missed data being pulled in.
Mobi is now updated! Looks like the app update to support the new functionality was probably what came with the update 2 weeks ago, or was already there waiting. So the app already supports the new functionality.
Previously, when going to the temporary basal rate action it would stop you if you had Control-IQ enabled. Now you can set temp rates.
Woo, Control-IQ+ has landed!
Mobi is updating now.
I wasn't sure if the Mobi pump ran the Control-IQ algorithm or if the phone did and communicated algorithmic adjustments to the pump.
I pretty much confirmed the pump runs the algorithm.
My phone lost connection to the pump over night and I didn't notice. I had to force restart the app and watched it backfill the data from the pump.
The pump was still doing its magic all night, including a correction bolus for my FOTF this morning.
Today I switched to 32 inch infusion sets from 23 inch. 23 inch were fine for tube management, but there were situations where it wasn't long enough.
I'm sure other pump users probably know.
The extra length is definitely noticeable. But the tube management doesn't seem any worse.
We shall see how it goes!
Apparently I should be watching for an update to my Tandem Mobi.
Control-IQ+ is supposed to be rolling out this month.

Wir MOBI!
Got my replacement supplies from Tandem a bit faster than expected. The rep said they'd send out 2 cartridges and 2 infusion sets. I received 2 cartridges and a full box of 10 infusion sets.
I have so much supplies right now. But, of course, I need to stock up anyway.
There's some aspects of Tandem I'm not a fan of. And then there's some good.
Ordering replacement cartridge and infusion set from Tandem was pretty painless.
I decided to not do my every other day recharge of my Mobi. It went about 4 days before hitting 25% battery remaining. So it can, comfortably, run for 4-5 days, at least with my usage.
Not bad for such a tiny device!
Importantly, it lasted the entire life of an infusion set.
Every attempt to prime my faulty infusion set got logged to Tandem source, which ended up synced to my Nightscout instance.
Ugh, ran into my first faulty infusion set.
Mobi was telling me the cartridge was faulty. So I changed it as instructed. Same error. Changed infusion set and it went fine.
Gonna have to call Tandem for replacements.
