[Diabetes-Talk] Tandem T slim X 2 pump, and Dexcom G7 sensor

[Patricia Maddix]

There is no separate transmitter code now, so that certainly may explain why you have to go into the pump each time, but I would think that even sighted people would complain about having to do the entire process twice when changing the sensor. so if they could make it work by using just the phone, it would be a win-win situation for both sighted and blind users.
