Erika, I know that I'm not in the Raleigh area, but here's the number of my Animas rep here in Atlanta and she I'm sure can get you the number... Her name is Jill and her number is 706-468-7641 she's great and I'm sure she can get you the information that you'll need. Good luck, keep us posted!

Ericka, wow, I am so sorry to hear about all of that trouble : ( I have only been on my pump 3 weeks and I dont think I ever want to go back to mdi. Please keep us posted. I am going to call my friend and see if she still has her son's old cozmo right now!

Does anyone know who is the Animas rep in Raleigh, NC? I need a new pump...my Omnipod has caused me to have allergic reactions/rashes to the pods. My Cozmo warranty isn't up until May 2011, and I donated that pump to someone without insurance. My email is erikaroe@gmail.com I don't really want to go back to shots! I can't decide what's worse, on going rashes and itchyness or going back on MDI

When I started my pump, I did not work through my doctor's office, granted, he was available to me if I had any problems, but I went through Animas. My endo gave me the option as going through the Georgia Center for Diabetes to set up my pump would have billed me like $650 and that wasn't something that I was just willing to write a check for... lol... So, he was fine with Animas, and I was assigned a pump trainer, Clinical Manager, and a Glucose Manager. I am not sure where you're located but I can give you my Clinical Manager's number and she can tell you where or what you can or need to do. What I had to do was I faxed in my numbers initially daily, then every other day, and then eventually weekly for about a month and a half. The Glucose Manager then made adjustments to my basal based on my numbers and she taught me what i needed to do to make changes. it was a very thorough training period with Animas.

I have not worked with anyone at Animas on my glucose... I have just had a couple appointments with my doctor initially. I have another appointment about a week from today. I should see if I have access to help from Animas or if my doctor is that connection since she is a pump trainer.

Rose, are you still sending in your numbers to the glucose management team at animas? It took me a bit to get it straight, but once it was done, it's been a breeze... do remember though that you will have to tweak it over time....

Rose, i have done more than 4 days... it's not recommended but my supply order was delayed and I was on my last one... I didn't have any problems with it at all...

Oh, also... I am still having a lot of highs and lows - does it typically take a long time to balance everything?

Soooooo, I had some struggle with my infusion sites the first couple of changes i had to do by myself. This last one went awesome - I literally can not even feel it! BUT I did the change on Saunday night so I should change it today...it still doesnt hurt or anything. Has anyone gone longer than the 4 days? Can I or is that stupid?
