This is a terrifying and illuminating read.

I stopped reading where he just googled what can be wrong with his life support medical aid instead of calling some kind of support line.

I’m diabetic and found this strange for a few reasons. There’s a postscript in the blog post wishing death from diabetes on any diabetic who tries to point any of it out—so I’ll leave it at that.

I don't think the attitude in the first several paragraphs, wishing harm to the pump engineers etc, can lead to a good discussion.

Bizarre intro to the blog. Been a pump user for 20 years, forever grateful to the technology that allowed me to live a pretty unrestricted life. Sympathy of course to anyone who's had it harder than I have ofc

My wife is a t1d and has the same pump. It sucks their support staff has no idea how the thing works or what its failure modes are. My wife once had her x2 tell her it gave here a 40 unit bolis out of the blue . This would have killed her. While in the er support from x2 said something like "there is no way for it to do this .. you must be wrong.. are you reading the display correctly .." All in all the x2 plus dexcom was supposed to be a closed loop cgm plus pump. It rarely cuts insulin delivery on low blood sugar, or it does it way too late to matter .
