No longer have to carry so many supplies Pros keeps track of insulin on board and has a history feature so I can go back and check that I have bolused. Love multiple basal setting. Cons something as simple as the battery cap needing to be replaced caused me to not be able to use it for a week waiting for a replacement.

Pros Just the fact that it helped me with better control, all the fancy features and colors of 'skins. Cons The cost! but it is so worth it!!!!

I was previously a Mini-Med user for about 17 years. Pros Great customer service, waterproof, easy insertion with the built-in inserter that comes attached to the tubing Cons Impossible to read screen in bright light, expensive therapy

The color screen is great and the alarm that reminds to to recheck your blood sugar is extremly helpful. Pros alarms, color screen, convience Cons cant really think of any. I LOVE my Animas!

	Lee Ann - 22107 September 14, 2008 at 5:04 am 0 Likes I like this I don't like this Report as inappropriate Pros High-contrast color screen is easy to read; waterproof; Animas has GREAT customer service; basal rates to three decimal places; 4 different pre-programmed basal rate schedules plus the option for a temporary schedule; Animas has a free vacation loaner program that I've used several times without any problems; food data base with carb grams/serving Cons Despite the great color screen, it's still really hard to see in bright sunlight; if you take large doses of insulin Animas cartridges hold less insulin (200u) than MM cartridges
