Well this weekend I finally started pumping on my new Animas pump.  I actually got it a couple weeks ago and was trained on the 9th.  I must say I love the look of it. It's pretty easy to use though very different from my Disetronic pump.  The infusion sets (inset) are a lot different than my old ones in the sense that I've never had a self inserting set.  I definitely need to get the hang of it but it is painless which I love.  My only downside so far, which I posted in another discussion, is the fact that I can't prefill insulin cartridges and that I need to change my insulin every 2 days or so because the insulin doesn't mesh well with the plastic cartridges.  I hate filling cartridges.  With my old pump I would prefill a whole month's worth (3 cartridges of 300 units each) and then change every 10 days when I ran out - I had glass cartridges.  So this I will definitely have to adapt to.  But so far so good.  The menu prompts are easy to follow and the screen is easy to read/see.  But I really think I like the look more than anything else.  It doesn't look "medical" to me.  Wish me luck!
