I’m almost through my first box a 6mm Mio’s and they have worked flawlessly (wearing on the upper arm, same as where my Omnipod used to be). I replace them at around 72 hours with no noticeable difference in absorption on day 3. I was recently in the UK and picked up some of the [New Advanced Mio’s](https://www.medtronic-diabetes.co.uk/minimed-products/insulin-delivery/infusion-sets/minimed-mio-advance) with the improved inserter. I’ll try the silhouettes next.

@TiaG, Looping has been amazing so far. I like it so much that I have convinced a few more people to give it a try. The system does have some limitations but it sure beats what I was doing before. I have more or less eliminated lows and have woken up every day at 95. Thank you for your incredible generosity, your kids Sure-T’s got me up and running perfectly on day 1.
