I also got a first look at the new meter that Minimed will be using with the pumps starting soon. Let me say this thing makes the BD logic look like the One Touch 2. Its going to be a One Touch meter very much like the Ultra 2s and it is a beast. T…

So I was doing a little research on this whole CGM business after three separate friends of mine and about 5 people on here told me that Deltec and Animas's units were close to production. I refused to believe that a company who had no trials and no interest in doing a CGM would tell their people to tell customers that it was within four months from public market.
Well, someone I know who is also a Minimed-er like me passed this info along to me after I told him how crazy I thought…

Well, I have come to a harsh reality over the last few days: It is very tough to be a crusader for the best things in the diabetes world. I have found out through my experiences on message boards and even on Yahoo answers (haha!), that information is a luxury.
For instance, not everyone knows that the new gold standard in Diabetes care has nothing to do with insulin shots. Even though coverage has almost become universal, not many people are familiar with the GINORMOUS benefits of…

I picked up our daughters pump!!! now we just need to learn how to use it! our cost $000!
our paper work was through in 3 days, now we're waiting for the call from affinity plus so we can pick up our pump! (they will need to order it if it is not instock) of course we will need to work on getting the cgm
kayla :]
I'm on the Cozmo and did a trial with the MiniMed with CGMS and I am not interested in switching. That's my preference.
Also, with all this talk of Smith's medical exiting the insulin pump market, why did they even bother with the recent upgrade? And they would be legally obligated to provide customer service until all warranties expired right? Plus, I have a hard time imagining that they would just abandon the Deltec Cozmo pump-- wouldn't it be more likely that they sell to some other company? The Cozmo is a good pump-- and there are plently of people out there who feel that way!
Thanks for your feedback! And I wish you good BG levels... it's hard when they affect the emotional side of things as well...
