My son has a Medtronic and he loves it. One more year with this and I will be switching. Also ANimas customer service is rude, treat you like an idiots and do. To stand behind the products. I have had numerous high bs due to crimped infusion sets and they continue to try and blame me for user error...not the case. It is an inferior product.

This move was a big mistake. I just wanted a change for something different, but good. It was definitely different, but not good. There are so many things I could mention, here are a few; not primed alarm when priming is not needed, battery replacement alarm when battery is still half full, after replacing battery u must rewind, load cartridge and prime when none of that is necessary. I had to get a new pump sent to me because after there was an Occlusion alarm and a No Delivery alarm, I had to rewind, only this time the pump would not rewind and another alarm popped up that told me to replace the battery and that there was no delivery. I wasn't trying to deliver!!! I was trying to rewind. After 30 minutes on the phone with Animas they determined I needed a new pump; No shit, Really??<br />I've had this pump for only six months and I hate it!! I which I had my Mini Med Paradigm back!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898358710846460897.post-19416330019072928292012-12-13T01:55:48.037-06:002012-12-13T01:55:48.037-06:00I have used the one touch ping for over a year no...I have used the one touch ping for over a year now. I hate it!<br />You have to push and acknowledge everything several times to do what you want it to do. It takes so long to change the cartridge, the priming etc takes way too long. The worse part is the battery. The pump will go off for days telling you its low at only 1/2 battery level and then you have to prime/rewind just to change it!!! Ridiculous!! The so called glucose monitor system is a waste of money. it is so big and awkward, I just stopped useing it and bought some mini glucose testers. The way this pump is programmed is really awful!! I am sorry I purchased this pump!
