> [@mohe0001](#): > > This is a great way to ask the questions, but I have never seen anyone run multistep (conditional) polls before. I don’t think you can do it. It would be cool if you could. I can absolutely run conditional polls. This is how we registered people for the nonprofit I used to work for. I did them using Google Forms. @CatLady said there is no way to to that on this forum, but honestly I thought her poll was great and got me what I wanted, which is the ensuing discussion here about what people are using for AID. 🥰 Thanks everyone for weighing in – let’s keep the conversation going! I use Medtronic 780G with the Guardian 4 (soon to be Simplera) sensor. The AID mode is called Smart Guard and I run it about 97% of the time. I do bolus for meals, but I know people who don’t because they eat super-low carb and the pump can keep up with that. I was on the TSlim and Dexcom systems from whenever Animas went out of business until February of this year. I prefer the Smart Guard to Tandem’s Control IQ. ---

> [@bpollina](#): > > Inserter wise it uses the Cleo which is absolutely a NIGHTMARE! It’s a manual inserter that always seems to pull off when you pull the inserter away from the body about 1/2 the time, so you waste a lot of them. I think I used the cleo for a while, and the trick was after inserting continue pressing the inserter down for a full 10 seconds. The adhesive was heat-activated, and it needed time for the body to warm it up before it would bond with the skin. ---

My solution to the Cleo problem has been to modify the cassette change process. I follow twiist’s routine up to the priming. Before priming I apply Skin Prep, wait a few seconds, then apply Skin Tac. That’s when I begin the priming. After priming I attach Cleo. Like you, I could run through 7-8 failed attachments before one would stick. I haven’t had one failure since (jinxing myself). The priming time is long enough that I don’t get in a hurry and Skin Tac has plenty of time to dry. I agree, twiist isn’t perfect. I really like the version of Loop they’re using. My TIR is much better than it was on Omnipod 5. I can take or leave the physical pump and would change in a minute if there were a FDA approved Dash with LOOP loaded. ---

I just started using twist about a month ago. I use a skin tech that’s how I was trained. I’ve had a couple cannas infusion attachments come off one just fell off one got pulled off when I pulled my pants down so I’ve had to put a new cannula in and actually get replacement cannulas.
