Comment by Florian Menninger Jr on Sunday Jan, thanks for leading the charge on this cause. Make sure that the petition gets to our government leaders. I hope it will help to get the CGM covered by Medicare or at least by the private insurance companies that manage and provide
Medicare supplemental and advantage plans.

Comment by Amber on May 13, 2013 at 12:24pm I have made the mistake before of not suspending the pump before uploading to Diasend online. After I suspend it, I place it right next to the wireless sensor until I see it connect on the screen.
Anyone know how to get the EZmanager and/or the diasend programs to work?
I can't get either of them to find my pump or my meter so I can download information to take to a doctor's appt.
Comment by suz on April 30, 2013 at 7:00pm I'm a crafter as well as a recycler. Has any one utilized the plastic inset case for a crafting project? Each time I open one up, I think there has to be something useful I can do with this cute little round plastic box. I have been saving them hoping to put them to use.
Comment by type3mom on April 18, 2013 at 6:37pm We've had some loss of prime alarms after our daughter has been playing rough and likely knocked the pump into something or dropped it on the ground. Animas tech support said that impacts like that will cause the pump to give that alarm. Do you think you might be knocking it into something without realizing?
Comment by vbm on April 18, 2013 at 12:14pm Thanks for the suggestions. I never thought of the cap being loose. I will check that but still not sure if that is the problem. I don't see any air bubbles either. Still cold out here, so I will check it on my run today for those problems.

Comment by gw on April 15, 2013 at 9:19pm Might be the cartridge cap coming loose-that is why I got the warning,if I hadn't screwed it tight enough. I never got the warning running, or skating.
Comment by Dave on April 15, 2013 at 4:38pm VBM,
I never had a problem running with with the Animas Pump in the Winter. I had problems skiing with it two years ago. I never got a warning that the pump needed to be primed, but I found that the cartridge was full of air bubbles, which could have been caused by altitude. A suggestion on Tu Diabetes that I turn the pump over, so that the air bubbles wouldn't enter the tubing, seemed to have solved the problem. No bubbles got into the tubing this year.
