Bigfoot and Sooil have BLE in their current pumps, Tandem has BLE in a pump in development, and Omnipod has BLE in their current pod and a future one. How time flies! What to do…?

The tubing didn’t bother me at all and after a short time I didn’t even notice that it was there - it was just part of me.
