"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."

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. Dave"

"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…"

"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."

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…"

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.

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.

Hi Spenser. Been my DexCom in my jersey pocket. Wish there was a good way to attach it to the handlebar.

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.
