One nice feature is the fact that it waterproof so it can go 
swimming with you. It uses One Touch Ultra Test Strips which are covered by most health care plans. The software, ezManager MAX will allow for downloading data from the remote and will work with both a PC and a MAC. The device even comes in pink! Now instead of injections, the pump can be with you and monitor glucose levels even while you sleep. The remote has a color screen, easily viewed.
Treatment device and plans for those with diabetes are changing, more in the direction of using a pump, makes it easier and less 
pain than injections. Also,one other nice 
feature is the ability to customize a 500 item database of food items, so in other words it’s all in one, nice reference. Pumps are great for kids too. It can be worn on a belt. This is about as close as you can get with a device functioning similar to an actual pancreas. The company is making it easy for existing patients to upgrade as well. Pump therapy can also reduce the risk of severe hypoglycemia
I would look for the software, ezManager in time to become a Google Health and HealthVault partner as well as it would make sense. The fact that the product is wireless offers some new freedoms as well with current lifestyles. BD
Animas Corporation announced the clearance of its OneTouch® Ping" Glucose Management System by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). OneTouch Ping is the first full-feature insulin pump that wirelessly communicates with a blood glucose meter-remote. Using the OneTouch Ping meter-remote, a person can calculate insulin doses and opt to wirelessly instruct the pump to deliver them without touching the pump at all, giving patients more freedom and flexibility in using their insulin pump.
