It is available in Canada and Europe, but not yet in the US, so it does not get much reviews on Tudiabetes.
It has capacity of 315 units and an excellent full remote/bs meter. Animas Ping…"
JKD1 replied to Mike S.'s discussion 'Are You Lancet Lazy?'"It is quite a hassle to change lancets at school/work. That's the reason I have replaced all my lancet devices (Softclix and so on, I got 3-4) with Accu-Chek Multiclix lancet devices.

karri replied to JKD1's discussion 'Apidra supply problems in the UK and in Finland (maybe in other countries, too)'"So wow. My son uses Apidra in pump. First reading this I thought that it doesnt concern us as vials are not affected. Then later I realised they dont sell vials for pump-users in Finland, only cartridges."
JKD1 replied to Natalie ._c-'s discussion 'What is Type 1?'"Type 1 is not called juvenile diabetes anymore in Finland.
And why would it: 2-3 times more people get classic Type 1 as adults (usually under the age of 40, but one can get it at any age) than as children."
