OK, guess I have to answer this, since I seem to be the only Quick around here
When I got my first Animas pump 4+ years ago they insisted I go through a training session with the area rep before using it on myself. Happened within a week of gettin...
I agree, Joe...but I did find that having the couple of weeks with no pressure to learn all the bells and whistles of the pump helped.
However, once I got my appointment, I did go straight onto insulin via pump...no saline. I couldn't agree more ...
Amen, Joe!
I use an Animas 1250. I had it 3 days before I was jacked in and pumping Apidra. No trial period with distilled water, no class with an Animas rep. I spent 30 minutes with my CDE/PA and away I went.
If you're smart enough to calculate your own in...
I've got a Medtronic pump, and Animas may be a bit different, but I got a video with my pump and a book that went through the basics. I learned how to set boluses, basal rates, etc. It was about three weeks between getting the pump and going to th...
I got mine in a few days after the call that it was approved and then my Endo called me and my trainer called both on the same day to set up a time a week and a half later to start pumping. I started with insulin the first day. Sometimes they make...
dont be in a hurry about starting using the animas pump... there is much to learn first.... basil rates ...carb to insulin ratio
correcting bolus... you can give your sales rep or call animas and ask them what is taking so long.... good luck.... ...
I would definitely follow up too. The first time I got a pump (animus 1200?), I actually met with a trainer and used a demo before I got it. When I upgraded, I was in a class with multiple people within days of getting the pump.
I'd definitely follow-up with the trainer. One of my favorite quotes: "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."
I have a quick question, when you got your pump, how long was it before you actually had your "class" to learn how to use/ connect it? I got mine on Monday and I've been basically "blown off" by my doctor and Animas. I was supposed to have the tra...
My lowest was "low" on my meter which is 20 and my highest high 972 (at diagnosis) both of which I was sitting up talking during... The high was sort of fun, as I was feeling really intoxicated which I wasn't, but it was interesting nonetheless!
I ordered my pump today... I am getting the Minimed 522 and I'll get the 6mm infusion sets.... I was considering hte Ping but I really like the CGM option on the Minimed so decided to get this pump....I am really excited to get on my pump... nothi...
I give blood on a regular basis. I won't be able to for a bit because of recently having surgery. I told them that I have type 1 and Red Cross says it's not a big deal.
congrats! i get mine on monday!
I got a chest cold and my primary wrote for prednisone and that was horrible. I couldn't get lower than 300 and felt like crap. The chest cold was better than the drugs for it!

Mattie said… - Hey Elizabeth! just wondering if you got thing worked out with your overnight lows. I think that no matter how low I go during daylight hours, somehow a low that wakes me up is always 100 times worse to deal with.
hope all is well for you! (and that your finals are over!!)

Anna Kiff (FatCatAnna) said… - Hey Elizabeth - I was reading about how much you fork out for our legal drugs to stay alive and kicking. Are you serious that your employer fired you because of you being ill with diabetes? Can you not fight that - or am I being naive here? Anyway, hope you are managing alright. BTW, I have family in Kissimmee and visit a few times a year (when it's not hot). Are you close to there?
