"Hey Shila, welcome to tudiabetes. I see you have already joined a couple groups I belong to, including the NW diabetics one. Make sure you stop by there and introduce yourself:)"
Shila N. Laing replied to Shila N. Laing's discussion 'Tranistioning from mini med 722 to ping anything i should know?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Jamie was my contact at Anamas she was really nice.
You know the best way to find a new Endo that I have found is either through other diabetics and or through your Animas rep. Since they visit all the endos and service them, they really KNOW them.…"
FlyWilley replied to Shila N. Laing's discussion 'Tranistioning from mini med 722 to ping anything i should know?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"That's what scares me is the cost of wasted supplies. I cuss everytime I don't get enough blood on a strip now.
I was really surprised my isurance covered me period because of my Endo's persistence on Type 2 diagnosis. I fall more in…"
Shila N. Laing replied to Shila N. Laing's discussion 'Tranistioning from mini med 722 to ping anything i should know?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I am currently using medtronic mini med 722 @ about 75-85u's p/day, I use quickset infusion sets and for the most part the straight/90 insets are pretty similar but different too. The tubing is 'wound' around the round circle of…"
FlyWilley replied to Shila N. Laing's discussion 'Tranistioning from mini med 722 to ping anything i should know?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I have never used a pump. But because of my extreme sensitivity to lows and my medical training she seems confident that I will be able to handle it. A low will get me straight out of sleep fighting as if I started drowning. Even just low 80 wakes…"
Shila N. Laing replied to Shila N. Laing's discussion 'Tranistioning from mini med 722 to ping anything i should know?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Yes I am hoping we skip the saline completely since I have already been on a pump and I know how it works basically. I'm sure the menus and how to get around is different but that just takes practice.
And yes please keep me in the loop about…"

Shila N. Laing replied to Shila N. Laing's discussion 'Tranistioning from mini med 722 to ping anything i should know?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"See I love that you can do things remotely with the meter. But I have a tendency to loose things LOL, this is one of the reasons why I am worried.
I am really interested in learning how the heck to do a combo bolus. I would love to know so on the…"
FlyWilley replied to Shila N. Laing's discussion 'Tranistioning from mini med 722 to ping anything i should know?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Well if I find anything in training important I'll send it to you. My CDE is going to start me with real insulin and skip the saline training. So I may have some suggestions. Hopefully it will all go smoothly and I won't have anything to…"
