Re: [IPp] Animas IOB feature
Each of the two times we were reviewing pumps the Animas rep tries to
sell this suggestion and you scroll up to the dose as a safety
feature. At least for my young daughter who is often distracted and
pushes the pump buttons at lightening speed, I just don't see it that
way. This has been the major reason we chose Cozmo and recently MM.
Please note that with both Cozmo and MM, after the pump suggests the
dose you have the possibility of adding or removing insulin or
pressing the deliver button. However the benefit as I see it is that
your starting point is the suggested amount and not 0.
