A. K. Buckroth replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"Thank you. But you're not getting the whole gist. You making matters worse with your commentary. I am not going to defend myself to you. Your negativity is useless."
Zoe replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"I tried to edit and add to my above thoughts and it got wiped out!
...and if the problem ends up being (as some people have suggested) that you have too much scar tissue, perhaps you may have to go back to shots. Your blurb above must originally…"
Zoe replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"A c-peptide usually isn't used to "prove you are diabetic" - an A1C is what's used for that. A c-peptide merely shows how much insulin you are still producing which is one of the factors that can help determine type. Maybe that…"
A. K. Buckroth replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"Ahh. I have depnded upon any of the pumps to lower my bGs - until this past year. Yes, when contacting technical supposrt and going through so many variables, the problems have more often than not been the infusion set tubing and/or the cartridge.…"
Kevin replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"My thoughts as well.
When my sugar soars, I don't rely on the pump and infusion set, I take a shot. Every time that has happened, it's been an infusion set problem. When it appears that I have great adhesion and it should work, I'll…"
A. K. Buckroth replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"I know and I have. But six shots a day is no less than horrible."
Zoe replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"If I were you I would surely go back to shots. If the pump doesn't improve your quality of life (and it sure sounds like it doesn't for you) and you can manage your blood sugar well enough on shots, why make yourself miserable?"
A. K. Buckroth replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"Weel good. I am happy to read that and happy for you. Take care!"
Unknown Diabetic replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"After reading your post I found out yesterday I need to have my ping replaced. After 14 months of use it started loosing information when I would change the battery.
Overall I have been happy with my Ping."

Annabella replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"Do you have the occlusion option set to "Low"? I was advised to do this by Animas support. My very knowledgeable Animas trainer also said as I had done MDI for so many years I had fatty buildup & it was advised."
Kevin replied to A. K. Buckroth's discussion 'Animas Ping'"Annabella, You are correct. And mine have occasionally been related to a true infusion set occlusion, as I very occasionally experienced with the MiniMeds and Cozmo.
A side issue is with the quality of Unomedical infusion sets; in April 2011 I…"
