Good luck for the pump start, and congratulations on taking such a pro-active approach to your diagnosis.<BR/><BR/>Caro<BR/><BR/>P.S I'm a former Animas devotee - I used the IR1200 until 9 months ago when I switched to the 522 for the CGM - so I did want to defend them a little. J&J only took the company over relatively recently. Animas had nothing to do with actual development of the Glucowatch, which they took on from Cygnus who in turn never had anything to do with Animas pumps. Same goes for the OneTouch meters, which J&J acquired from a separate company called Lifescan. So I'm not sure if it is worthwhile to base future expectations of Animas on those products with which they had no involvement.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929832334541425338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-83775477311917064262007-06-05T07:25:00.000-07:002007-06-05T07:25:00.000-07:00Oh, and you may want to get into the Diabetes OC c...Oh, and you may want to get into the <A HREF="http://diabetesoc.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Diabetes OC</A> community.Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14936264471078732019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-65510350137349392132007-06-05T07:24:00.000-07:002007-06-05T07:24:00.000-07:00I'm going to try the Animas out later in the year ...I'm going to try the Animas out later in the year before I replace my aging Minimed 512. So your take on it is interesting.<BR/><BR/>If you're looking for a good meter, I'd strongly recommend the WaveSmith KeyNote from AgaMatrix, really fast and they claim the reliability is good. I posted a <A HREF="http://www.bernardfarrell.com/blog/2007/05/using-keynote-blood-glucose-meter.htm" REL="nofollow">video on YouTube</A> showing it in action.<BR/><BR/>For more information on meters, pumps, etc., check out the <A HREF="http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/d_06_000.htm" REL="nofollow">CWD site</A>.<BR/><BR/>And welcome to the blogosphere.
