The pump records a basal rate change event only when the basal rate has actually changed, which means only: on first initialization of the schedule and after any temp basals or resumption from a suspend event. In the particular case where the user of an insulin pump has programmed a flat-rate basal schedule, this means that flat-rate basal rate change events are represented in one of two ways: The pump records a basal rate change event every midnight (local device time) when the basal schedule (with its single segment) takes effect, as well as at any other times when the basal rate has changed such as upon the conclusion of a temp basal or on resumption from a suspend event. Most - if not all - diabetes manufacturers represent basal rate insulin data with basal rate change events (see Terminology below) rather than basal rate intervals. Keep in mind: I’m coming at this from more than a decade of happy Medtronic p Sadly, nothing wowed me personally about the Vibe, and even the built-in CGM isn’t enough to convince me it was worth the wait, or convince me to purchase this system for myself.

I found that there are good and not-so-good things about the Vibe, and as with everything, opinions will vary. Now anyone using it gets all the benefits of that combined home’s plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and so on. In the words of my awesome Animas educator during my training in late December: You can think of this system in terms of a dwelling - the two components used to be separate housing units, but now they co-exist under the same roof and are more like different rooms within one big home. There’s been a lot of buildup here in the States, before and after Animas filed with regulators in April 2013, so I had high hopes going into this two-week trial. (after Medtronic’s system), and the first to include the popular Dexcom G4, and it’s been a loooong time coming Dexcom and Animas first announced their joint-development agreement back in January 2008, and this integrated system was launched overseas in mid-2011.

This is only the second combined insulin pump-CGM product ever made available in the U.S. We appreciate this opportunity for a trial-run of this exciting new device before it officially hits the market in the coming weeks.

Getting My Vibe On With Animas, After Years Of Anticipationįor two weeks during the holidays, I test-drove the new Animas Vibe combo device (Animas insulin pump plus Dexcom continuous glucose monitor) approved by FDA just over a month ago.
