Hey everyone in the D-OC! Loooong time no blog. Last we spoke, I was busy living my IRL, and while that is still the case, it’s time for me to get back into diabetes-land.
I recently got involved with a local usability group and it has inspired me to apply that knowledge to my diabetes. I plan on putting together a number of videos about my experiences with my various diabetes devices. Below is the first, introducing my new insulin pump. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to being a part of the blogosphere again.
Disclosure: I am not affiliated with Animas or Dexcom in any way, shape or form. I am simply a user who would like to see some improvements. All opinions expressed in this blog via text or video are mine and mine alone.
I hear from you all the time on Twitter and my blog I didn’t even realize you hadn’t blogged in so long! Glad to have you back.
Glad to see a fellow former Cozmo user back and blogging! I’m in the process of the big switch to Animas myself and I had NO IDEA that they didn’t include a site reminder feature. Good to know, and now I’ll be working on thinking up my plan of attack in figuring out how to remind myself. I would LOVE to see a lot of the features that the Cozmo had get incorporated into other pump designs, like the Hypomanager and the disconnect. I hadn’t even thought about the Site Reminder.
Looking forward to seeing more of your thoughts on the matter.
