Animas 2020 - Kate

I got the Animas 2020 today. It's not technically mine. It's the training pump for my clinic. I'm still waiting approval to cover the costs from the local health community, so then I can get my own, pink Animas.

I think I love it. *Squeals with excitement*

I can't wipe the smile off my face all day. It's so small. It's so un-bulky. It's so light. It's so not a medical device. It's a cool game that I carry around. It's got a flashy colour screen that makes me go wide eyed and all..."Oooo--eeeyy". It's awesomeeee.

The resovoir filling procedure is a little scary, it involves a huge SCREW on..yes I said screw on needle, but I think I can live with it.

I love it =)

Why can't all diabetes devices be like this?

Heyy Kate, Emma

Kate, I wish I had a pump like you! I've been diagnosed since October 10, 2005 and still havn't gotten one. But pink is a cool color for a pump. I have a blog on here to if you girls want to check it out.
