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.

It's also possible that your operating system is not compatible, especially for EZ Manager. Diasend is compatible with some of the newer systems but not all.

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.

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.

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?

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.

I was having intermittent pump not primed alarms. Recurring, no pattern, would have a bunch then none for a month. It can be a number of things, the cartridge, the cartridge cap, or the sensor in the pump itself. My pump was just replaced under warranty because of recurring no prime alarms.

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.

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.
