Don replied to Jomama's discussion 'Why you love your pump?'"Tom, There's an alarm clock with a microphone that can pick up and amplify your pump alerts. It can also has a bed shaker alert.

Tom Goffe replied to Jomama's discussion 'Why you love your pump?'"I'd echo all of the above. It is a fine device that has greatly contributed to my ability to lower my A1C. That has been a real challenge because nerve damage to my digestive system had made insulin injections nearly useless.
I'll also…"
"I am on the mm 723. I have nothing to compare it to, since being new to pumping. However, it is great for keeping co troll with the bolus wizard, small basal increments. Downsize is that it takes getting used being tethered all the time, specially…"

Kevin replied to Jomama's discussion 'Why you love your pump?'"I have been looking for a document that I sent several friends who I convinced to become pumpers, but can't find it. I created it the Spring of 2010, right after I got the Animas Ping.

I am considering all pumps right now, leaning towards the omnipod but my dr.is urging me to go with a miinimed for data compiling. I am a very active athlete and like the idea of no tubing.

Jomama replied to John's discussion 'need advice ...' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Clif bar gel shots!They are the goo type thing athletes eat while running. 35 grams carbs, very predictable, liquid form, travel well anywhere, and start to work fast.

Emily B replied to Jomama's discussion 'Why you love your pump?'"My son has worn Omnipod since 5 months after dx (20 months), we have been very happy with it. I researched a lot.
