artwoman replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'NEW ANIMAS VIBE IN US SOON!!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I have a neighbor in the medical device biz. (Nothing dealing with Diabetes, dammit ,or I could get free stuff) Anyway, she was impressed with how fast the Dex4 got through. In the industry it is highly unusual for devices to get through the FDA in…"
Leotha Fleming III replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'NEW ANIMAS VIBE IN US SOON!!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I don't see why it should take so long for Vibe to get approved because all it is, is combining too already approved devices in one device; the ping and the dexcom combined"
artwoman replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'NEW ANIMAS VIBE IN US SOON!!!' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I just heard that it was announced at the Animas sales conference that the Vibe has been submitted to the FDA!!!! Let's hope it goes as fast as the Dexcom 4 wehioch I hear got approved in 6 months! I wish there was someone we could write to in…"
Zoe replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'Apidra Active Insulin Time' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Of the three fast acting insulins, Apidra has the fastest onset of action and the shortest "tail" (time it sticks around). It's a minor difference but can make a difference. It seems like different people find one of the three works…"
Zoe replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'Apidra Active Insulin Time In Pumps'"I think it also is how the pump calculates IOB which is a pretty important factor to have access to. (and accurate!)"
Brian (bsc) replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'RECALL TEST METER: OneTouch Verio Meter'"The announcement of this was posted earlier, but the details are only starting to come out. There has been a detailed discussion of this in the Onetouch Group as well as a post over at DiabetesMine. While the 90,000 Verio IQ meters in the US just…"
"I used to have mine set to 3 hours, but changed it to 4 at my endocrinologist's suggestion due to lows I was having. I did a test once where I corrected and then tested every half hour, and it seemed to be mostly done its action after about 2.5…"
E-J Ohler replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'Apidra Active Insulin Time' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I used Apidra for years in my Animas 2020 and I had it set for 3 hours also I like Apidra better than all other "fast" acting insulin but I was using a lot and now I'm using the Humalog U-500 which at 5x as strong as standard U-100…"
Leotha Fleming III replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'Apidra Active Insulin Time In Pumps'"Actually John, it has all to with with my target. My I:C ratio is so low and my ISF IS rarely super high. So after I bolus for a meal, after 2-3 1/2 hours and I double check my bg to make sure it backs under 180, if it's not and I have IOB due…"
JohnG replied to Leotha Fleming III's discussion 'Apidra Active Insulin Time In Pumps'"The active insulin setting has little to do with when it starts impacting BG. I have my pump set for 3 hours but there is probably a small amount of insulin on board for 5-6 hours. The pump setting is a sensitivity setting for correction insulin…"
