I love the color coded lines! How exciting!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI SO cannot wait...We are READY!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the MAJOR LIKE button? :) Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteBig fans of Dex here, so I am waiting to get a look at the Vibe. Prefer Minimed pump so hoping to get a look at the Enlite. And extremely annoyed that because of the FDA we have to wait to do either. Love the color coding; love the waterproofness of the device. Notice the Animas/Dex transmitter itself looks a little larger than our current Dex, or is it my imagination? Small price to pay, but I wonder.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting!!!! I want this for Jack! Hope it arrives in the US soon! Hurry up, FDA!
ReplyDeleteOMG I FREAKING WANT ONE FOR REUBEN!!! See Australia was suspiciously missing off that press release...sob sob. i bet it wont come here :( maybe i need to start a petition.
ReplyDeleteOk..I was really, REALLY excited until I found out there is no remote! GAH! I feel like a complainer but..I don't think I can give up the remote with an active kid who HATES having his pump touched:( Please Animas consider a Vibe with a remote..PLEASE!!!
ReplyDeleteDitto what Jen said! I can't lose my remote, even for the integration this would bring. I NEED both. Period.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the info though!
So Wendy, I emailed Animas and they have no plans expanding the market here just yet.
ReplyDeleteSupport this video if you want the FDA to approve the Animas Vibe in the United States as quickly as possible!!

OK were at the end of August now and still don't have a date for the OK from the FDA. Are we stupid here in the US or are all of Europe in danger using this product, We know they're not in danger, we know the Dex works, we know the 2020 pump works so what is the problem (Red tape??????)
ReplyDeleteI have had funding and consultants support regarding this and was supposed to get this over 3 weeks ago and then 12 hours prior to appointment Animas said they could NOT deliver as there was None in the country and did Not know when they would????? Disgusted with ANIMAS this is rubbish service
ReplyDeleteour animas rep told us that the next pump they come out with (2014ish) is supposed to have integration and a remote, just in time for my pump warranty to run out! I mean should they actually get the pump done and approved in time.....
ReplyDeleteWonder how long it will be before we get this. That would be just awesome. I want it! :)
