I tried instructing my younger boy to stop growing, but like everything else with teenagers, he didn’t listen to me. I am officially the shortest person in our family now ☹

Yeah, I’m looking up at my 16 year old now also. I DEMANDED that he stop growing also, but he didn’t listen. I’m now almost 3 inches shorter than my oldest son. We think they are all going to be taller than me (I’m only 5’8"). On my wife’s side of the family, everyone is over 6 foot.

Hi, does anyone know if the new Medtronic 7d sets can be connected to the tslim infusion sites at the connection next to the body? I know the Tandem and Medtronic steel needles are compatible like that. Curious if the 7d Medtronic could be used with any of the tandem infusion sets-just to trial .
