help minimed or animas
Posted on November 9, 2010 at 5:37pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
Hi, I need advice, i don't know whether to switch to animas or minimed. I know a lot of people with minimed who love it. I have trialed both but I trialed a 2020 over the summer for three days. I trailed a minimed 512 for 2 weeks. I loved both. I have heard bout the ping. But the minimed has the sensor. I don't feel my lows but get really sick when I am high.
