Hi , I am a type 1 Diabetic my current insulin pump that I was using which is the Animas 2020 was out of warranty. I went through the procedures to get a new insulin pump for my Diabetes control.
Generally insurance companies will not replace an insulin pump that is out of warranty until there is a problem with the pump that you are using.
My pump did have a major problem with it so I was able to get another pump
I chose the Animas One touch Ping, I love love this insulin pump
They have with the pump a One Touch Ultra blood glucose machine. they are two separate machines but the coolest part is that they wirelessly go together.
When you get your One Touch Ping Insulin Pump and One Touch Ultra Meter you program them so they work together as one.
You test your blood sugar with the One Touch Ultra Meter this simultaneously goes to your insulin pump then it will direct you to if you want to do a EZ Carb which means that if you are planning to eat something you would put into the meter how many carbs you will be taking for that particular meal or you can go to your EZ BG which means that you put in the blood sugar that you just did with your blood sugar to determine if you need more insulin to have ideal blood sugars.
For instance if I am having breakfast and my blood sugar is 128 and I am having 50 grams of carb for breakfast the meter will program me as to how much insulin I should be taking to have my blood sugars stay in good control. I decide if that amount is good for my settings and say yes give that much insulin.
The amount of insulin that was programed into the One Touch Blood Glucose meter is then programed to go to the One Touch Ping Insulin pump and gives out that much insulin.
This is almost fun to do all that I have to do to have good control with my Type 1 Diabetes
You can see how this works by going in your search engine and putting in The Animas One Touch Ping and they will show you how this all works.
I also like the Animus Company for insulin pumps because they are the only company that I know of that has in their pumps a food data base. At the present time the Animus Insulin Pumps does not have gluten free products but they are working on this to be a part of their pump therapies.
You can still program your insulin pump with gluten free items so that you have your own Gluten Free Data base in your insulin pump.
All you do is call the Animas Insulin Pump Company , the number is 1877 937 7867 which spells out 1877 Yes Pump you would then push option 5 and let them know that you have to program your Animus Insulin Pump with gluten free items . They will direct you how to do this and how to down load the information that you put in on your computer to your insulin pump . Once you have down loaded all your information with your gluten free items that you eat then everything will be there in your pump in your Food Data Base for you to have anywhere you go.
I am so impressed with Animus Pump Corporation, if you are a type 1 Diabetic and a Celiac patient and take insulin for your control this is the insulin pump for you , to me it is more or less designed for a Type 1 Diabetic that has Celiac Disease. I have not seen another insulin pump company that . has a food data base in their pumps and that if you have a particular allergy to food that you can program foods in that food data base to become your own food data base system for your own needs It takes a little bit more work to put the gluten free items into the system but it is well worth it to have everything you need in one system
The Animas Insulin Pump Company is located in West Chester Pennsylvania if you are interested in learning more about the One touch Ping or Animus 2020 Insulin Pumps just call once again 1 877 937 7867 and push option 3 to get started. If you already have an Animus Insulin Pump but do not know that you can download gluten free items into your insulin pump then you would call 1877 937 7867 and push option 5 and let them know you would like to know how to get your gluten free items into your Food Data Base and they will gladly show you how to do this.

UDI'S MILLET-CHIA GLUTEN FREE BREAD ANCIENT GRAIN BREAD
07/23/2011
I just tried the Udi's Millet-ChiaGluten Free Bread.
I love love this gluten free bread
It tastes like a real grain bread should taste
It not only taste really good but it is full of fiber so it is nutritionally a sound product.If you are a type 1 Diabetic it helps you out with your insulin requirements because of the fiber in it. Fiber in your diet helps balance out carbohydrates so it minimizes the spikes of blood sugars that occur.when eating them.
It has 5 grams of protein in it, 6 grams of dietary fiber so it is not just a gluten free bread that taste good but a gluten free bread that is in my opinion one that has a lot of nutritional vales in it
I am very impressed with this bread, I know I am going to be looking for this bread in my local grocery store.
I just called the North Wales Store in Pennsylvania and they carry this product
I am told that it is in most Whole Food Stores right now carry this product so in my opinion we all should be going to our local Whole Foods Market and get this bread and taste how fantastic this bread is inside and out.
You will not be sorry this bread will make you think that you are no longer deprived from real bread .
You have found the chosen one in gluten free breads.
I almost forgot this bread also is loaded in Omega 3's
It has 375 grams of Omega 3/6/9 in it
Great Nutritional Value Great Taste a must have in the gluten free cabinet for optimal health
Check to see if other grocery stores have this product , call your local grocery store ask what department will have gluten free breads. Ask to be sent to that department , when a department head answers tell them you want this product in your local store if it is not there already.
They will ask for the name of the bread Udi's Millet-Chia Gluten Free Bread
they will ask for the UPC number and I will give that to you the number is 6 9899780994 4
Thank you

KELLOGG'S GLUTEN FREE RICE KRISPIES
07/10/2011
The Gluten free Rice Krispies are in select stores in Pennsylvania
They are in a primarily in a yellow and blue box and they are labeled Gluten Free on them
I am told right now they are in the Shop Rite Stores and Super Fresh Stores
I called the East Norriton Store on Germantown Pike they said that they do have it in stock and it is in either in aisle 3 or 4 and it is priced at 3.99 a box.
I called the corporate office of Giant Food Stores and they said that they will start getting the Gluten Free Rice Krispies around the 20th of July and it will be in stores throughout Giant by the middle of August
I called Whole Food Stores in Plymouth Meeting and they do not have it as of yet.
The Gluten Free Kellogg's Rice Krispies will be made out of brown Rice instead of the Malt in the regular Rice Krispies.
I am going to get a box today so I will let you know what I think of them
I just opened my box of the gluten free Rice Krispies and they are really very good.
It is nice to see and hear that they do the same as the regular box of rice Krispies they do pop as you pour the milk onto them and they taste I think even better then the regular version of the Rice Krispies
The ingredients for Kellogg's Rice Krispies is Whole Grain Brown Rice sugar, 2% or less of salt , BHT for freshness that is it .
Thank You
