gw replied to A.J.'s discussion 'Animas Ping - Paint chips' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"my ping is in awful condition, i have the skin protector as well. started green, is chipped and peeling all over the place, the black protector has leeched black onto the pump, making it kind of an abstract art piece. they claim its waterproof but…"
Zoe replied to A.J.'s discussion 'Animas Ping - Paint chips' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Personally I hated the skins as they are so bulky and hard to put on and take off without cracking.

Animas Ping - Paint chips
Is anyone else having issues with their Ping and the color paint chipping off? My pink has three spots that are now black and my pump is less than a year old.Wishing I had gone with the basic black color now - if the color will not hold on the pump.See More

"Thanks Nyadach. We all know it is different for everyone. Just trying to see what is working for others.I appreciate your input!"
"Thanks Greg. I had most of this down pretty well, but after being off my bike for the last year, I have found that my old routine was not working for me now. I too learned that you have to eat, whether I want to or not, throughout the ride. My…"
Greg replied to A.J.'s discussion 'JDRF Ride to Cure' in the group Cycling Diabetics"Hey AJ,
I am registered for Nashville, too. I did Death Valley last year and was a little disappointed that there were not as many T1 riders as I expected. Glad you are on board.
