I am starting this post as a warning to all whom are looking for a new pump or starting pump management.
I have been type 1 diabetic since May 2009, started on the Animas pump in Aug 2009, average bloodsugar was 140
First off within a month with a tiny bit of cold weather the pump would just un-prime itself constantly all dayyyyy long.
Second issue with the pump with more than a couple basil levels programmed, the pump freezes and performs very very slowly.
I have also had several upon several leaking insets, making my bloodsugar shoot up to 400+ after a meal, old A1C was 6 my new A1C with leaky instets was 8.
Animas pretty much did NOTHING they sent me 4 new insets which had the same leaking problems, they did not try to fix the issue, they did not care at all, there stupid support team in CO and NM never got back in contacted with me.
I also toss and turn all night cant sleep with the tube because it gets stuck under me and pulls at the site.
I have been through 3 animas pumps within a year, because of there problems.
Please Please do not buy an Animas Pump you will not be happy.
They also bill you for the clips, the battery covers, and the vial covers, they bill you for there cheap parts breaking.
I just did the cut the cord program with omni pod, starting tomorrow
any questions you can contact me miketoci(at)live
