TV replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Inset 30' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I like my Inset 30's. Allows for inserting into hard to reach places and offers more site choices where there is less fat than is comfortable w the straight in ones. Inserter works great."
Annabella replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Inset 30' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"If you go to the Unomedical web site there is a great visual product guide that has diagrams that take you through the insertion process step by step.
www.infusion-set.com, select products, then inset30, & the visual guide in the language you…"
BagLady replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Inset 30' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I've been using the inset 30 for 3 years now and LOVE it! I do not have a lot of fat tissue, so the angled insert has been fabulous. The insertion is not rough at all, actually. Smooth and slick!"
Dave replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Inset 30' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I found the auto insertion on the Inset 30 to be much easier than the 90 degree Inset. Call Animas and ask for a free sample.

Zoe replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Inset 30' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I used the Insets and Inset 30's alternately for awhile after I got my pump and finally decided I prefer the Inset 30's. I seem to have more successful insertions with them and most of all I love having the little window where I can…"
Liz replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Inset 30' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I tried the 30s for awhile. I liked it, but my sugars didn't. I guess I had trouble getting it into the correct position every time. So I went back to using the regular Inset and all is fine."
T1Naomi'sMommy replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Inset 30' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I use the inset30 on my daughter it is awesome - works so great for her compared to the others. I was freaked out by the insertion process at the start. After the first two insertions....it's like riding a bike! Actually - I think I do a better…"
Spenser Beasley replied to Michelle Isabelle's discussion 'Tough WEEK with the D'"Yeah I have heard the minimed one sucks. Animas is working on a lot of new stuff, and they always do great products. The good things about the Dexcom is that you can easily make it last much longer than "recommended". I can make mine last…"
Spenser Beasley replied to Michelle Isabelle's discussion 'Tough WEEK with the D'"the dexcom is an awesome tool. It can be frustrating at times but if something messes up just call them and they will fix it up. Sorry to hear about your problems, i know the stresses of working in a hospital. Until you get your dexcom, maybe you…"
Spenser Beasley replied to Stephanie Talmadge's discussion 'Considering getting an insulin pump/omnipod'"I am in college to, but I have been using pumps for about 11 years. They are phenomenal to say the least, but they each have advantages and disadvantages for sure. I switched to the Omnipod last year because I am in nursing school and I thought i…"

Kelly WPA replied to Spenser Beasley's discussion 'Ez Manager data transfer' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I just pulled my stuff out and mine was in the box with the software. The Ez Manager Software box was labeled with "kit contents." I had to call Animas to get my software - it was not in the box with the Ping."

Erika said… - Hi Spenser. My name is Erika Roe and I live in NC too. My friend actually works at the ECU School of Medicine at one of the clinics. I saw your post about the tubeless pumps thing. I would love to have an animas pump, right now I have an Omnipod. I like it, but after a year I developed a bad skin allergy to the adhesive of the pods. I get rashes everywhere the pod has been. I have no problem with my Dexcom 7+ though. I would love a trade for an animas but right now animas doesn't have a trade in program.

Kevin said… - Oh sorry. I place the sensor on my abdomen. Haven't had any problems with it; however, I use some latex adhesive to make sure it stays put while sweating.

MelissaBL said… - Welcome to TuDiabetes, Spenser. Wow, you and I were diagnosed just a few weeks apart. I was diagnosed on July 3, 1990. You might be interested in our discussion groups for Dexcom users or CGM users. I've been wearing a Freestyle Navigator (another CGMS) since Nov of '08 and love it.
