One Comment and One Question
One question. Does anyone have any tips on scrolling up for bolus amounts. I rarely bolus for more that 2 or 2.5 units at a time. I start at slow speed and once the fast speed clicks in, I'm already at 3 or 4 units. So it seems that the best ways is just to slowly click up all the way to 2 rather than to manually hae to scroll back from 3 or 4. I definitely had an easier time with Medtronic when it came to scrolling.
I am coming to terms with the Ping menus, but this requirement to scroll up from zero rather than start with the suggested amount is absolutely crazy and antiquidated to me. I don't see any safety in it at all. In fact I think I'm much more apt to make errors this way rather than just using the suggested amounts.

I'm glad they do have something equivalent for you on the Ping. It's funny how comfortable we get with our pumps, like they are old familiar friends. Consider how much time we spend with them and how important they are to our health! I'm glad you were able to make the switch to meet your long term goals!

Square wave is Medtronic's version of Animas Combo bolus where 100% of the bolus is given over time.
Medtronic also has a separate Dual Wave Bolus where you split it part now and part extended.
The only difference between the Medtronic version and Animas version is Animas has those bolus types all together under Combo Bolus whereas Medtronic separates them into two different bolus. -
