it blows my mind that you can rock video games on a PSP in an airplane or download an app to your iPhone that'll crack the Enigma code while teaching you how to make duck confit in a convection oven but my PDM still looks and acts like it does. ho...

This has happened to me twice with the 1250 insulin pump. The little thread fell off just as you described. I called pump support and they sent me a new battery cap

I started the process of switching to the Medtronic integrated pump and CGMS today. The customer service policy of charging the people who have given them the most money extra for the upgrade has turned me off to Dexcom.

Hello, I just started on the Dexcom and as a result I have the upgraded seven (seven plus) I don't know how the old one was set up so I can't really tell you if I like it better or not. I can tell you that I really do like the features of the arro...

Boy have I been in that boat. This thing is killing me money wise. I noted in March that my Seven failed twice, the second time out of warranty. So I paid the $799 for the Seven Plus. The alarm is the huge improvement over the previous piercing sh...

Animas Ping or Omnipod

Hello everyone

My warranty runs out on my Animas 1250 in a few months and was wondering what thoughts were on the new Ping and the Omnipod. I love Animas because of their great support for the four years i have had their pump. However, no tubing would be amazing to me. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

I love my pod! I would not EVER go back to the shots! Only 1 bad pod & knocked off 1 Omni gave me three each time to replace them! You can wear them in so many places! I told one friend Pods are better than Christmas & Halloween put together!
