I kind of didn’t. I stockpiled the luer-lock cartridges until they went out of stock, and used each cartridge for 3 fills (15 to 18 days total). I tried a 4th fill, but it seemed to be underdelivering, which I attributed to the micro-plunger wearing out from zillions of strokes. I really didn’t know what I’d do when the luer-lock cartridges ran out, but the problem vanished when I started LOOP on an old Medtronic 722 which takes QuickSets with the paradigm connector. > [@First Scheduled Delivery Today for TSlim Supplies.... but it didn't arrive!](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/first-scheduled-delivery-today-for-tslim-supplies-but-it-didnt-arrive/5829/44): > > You should always be able to find an adapter if it comes to that. I wish, but I didn’t. If you know of or hear rumors of an adapter that enables the t-lock cartridge to connect to a luer-lock infusion set I would be keenly interested. There was talk here on FU of maybe 3-D printing something, but I was afraid of what might leak from that plastic into the insulin that I’m infusing. > [@First Scheduled Delivery Today for TSlim Supplies.... but it didn't arrive!](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/first-scheduled-delivery-today-for-tslim-supplies-but-it-didnt-arrive/5829/44): > > In an ideal world this would be possible, but frankly I am willing to pay some extra if it means a small innovative company can stay in business. I agree that it was vitally important to keep Tandem alive. In my opinion, Medtronic is a despicable company for their apparent practice of trying to drive competitors out of business by means _other than_ creating superior products, such as their exclusionary deal with UnitedHealthcare Insurance to ensure that no insulin pump other than the Medtronic pump was covered. I still don’t understand why that isn’t a violation of antitrust laws. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/starting-on-t-slim-x2-my-first-questions/5892)._
