Weekly Digest for the Week of October 11–16
This week in one place: why twiist won't let me bolus at 80, soaking a new sensor and whether it costs you days, and this week's Forum – your letters on the blocked bolus, Libre recalls, Medtronic sensors, and a faulty cassette.
Friday Feedback Forum – No Bolus at 80, a Trust Issue, and a Faulty Cassette
Your letters on twiist's blocked bolus – a pump that should ask if you've eaten, a loop-off trick, and a faulty cassette – plus your soaking questions: Libre recalls, the warm-up, Medtronic sensors, and a G7 test trick.
פרייטאגדיגע רעאקציע־פארום – קיין bolus ביי אכציג, א טראסט פראבלעם, און א פעלערדיגע קאסעט
אייערע בריוו וועגן דעם בלאקירטן bolus ביי דער twiist פאמפ – א פאמפ וואס זאל פרעגן צי איר האט געגעסן, א קונץ מיטן loop סיסטעם, און א פעלערדיגע קאסעט. דערצו אייערע פראגעס וועגן א sensor איינווייקן: די Libre recalls, די warm-up צייט, און ביי Medtronic אויך.

You can put a new sensor in before the old one runs out and start it later. On a Libre that costs you nothing. On a Dexcom G7 the sensor's clock may already be running, so timing matters.
