Animas 2020
Posted on January 26, 2008 at 8:04am 2 Comments 0 Likes
Hi,
I am interested to know if anyone is using the Animas 2020 w/ezManager software and a Palm Pilot. I'd like to know if you feel it is worthwhile. I also use an Ultra Smart glucometer.
Rich

- Hi Richard...I see you have joined the NW group. I am from Whidbey Island myself, and a fellow Animas pump wearer. However, I am now on the ping. Did you get your 2020 questions answered?

- Hi MaryAnn,
Sorry to hear of your struggles with hypo unawarenss. It is comforting to know that I am not alone with this issue. I have been using a pump for the last 5 years and I would encourage you to consider using one as well. There is a lot of training that can be done with the pump and with the new continuous glucose monitors as well but the info can be very helpful in daily life.
It took basically two years and the use of lawyers to get my disability claim. I used the services of a national firm, Binder & Binder, but I'm sure a local disability lawyer office would work as well. Also, I have a great endocronologist who agreed to support my claim. The downside is the cost of the attorney's but if you are awarded a retroactive amount, it just from that settlement. I was not working, so that probably helped, too. We had great support from family & friends, one individual made our mortgage payments for a year.
I also started writing letters to my Congressman & Senators but I'm not sure how much influence they really gave to the effort.
Good luck with your claim.
Rich

- Really! Funny- I see you are originally from Sumas. My husband's family had a dairy farm between Lynden and Sumas on the Halverstick Rd. It burned down almost 20 years ago. When we were married we lived in Everson on the new dairy and then moved to NW Iowa to work on a larger dairy...Now we just built a dairy with his Uncles here...so I guess we are here to stay - but I miss WA! ( : We will be back at the end of the month for a family wedding...
